1947 Map of Purmela

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Leon River and its winding tributaries, including Cowhouse Creek and Beehouse Creek, define the landscape of Coryell County in the late 1940s. Centered on rural communities like Purmela, Arnett, and Pidcoke, the map reveals a post-war countryside still deeply rooted in local networks of country schools and family churches. The presence of the Purnela Sch and South Purmela Sch suggests a decentralized educational system typical of the era before larger district consolidations.
