1962 Map of Purdy Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Mason Mountains dominate the northern landscape of this Texas Hill Country quadrangle, where the rugged terrain transitions into a valley network defined by Comanche Creek and Little Willow Creek. In the early 1960s, the town of Mason and the smaller settlement of Kooksville anchored the southwestern corner, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and quarrying operations. The map reveals an intensive pattern of family-named burial grounds across the rural landscape, including Behrens Cem, Polk Cem, and the Old Gooch Cem, which provide significant genealogical clues for the region. Industrial activity is visible through scattered Quarry and Gravel Pits sites, while landmarks like the Purdy Hill summit and Bullhead Tank serve as distinctive reference points in this high-relief terrain.
