1957 Map of Purmela

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Purmela and South Purmela anchor the northern reaches of this central Texas survey, where the local economy of the late 1950s is defined by ranching and small rural junctions. The landscape is notably marked by numerous Borrow Pits and a prominent Pipeline cutting through the western terrain, reflecting mid-century infrastructure developments. Education and community life are centered at the Purmela Sch and the Smith Ch, while the southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding course of Cowhouse Creek and several distinctive peaks including Culp Mountain and Bagget Mountain. Small settlements like Arnett and King appear as quiet outposts along the primary roads, providing a detailed look at the scattered family-named landmarks and local water sources like Honey Creek and Plum Creek during this period of rural stability.
