1958 Map of Shell Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Fort Hood Military Reservation dominates this 1958 survey of the central Texas uplands, showing the intersection of military land use and earlier rural settlements. The terrain is defined by the Shell Mountains, a series of prominent elevations including Stampede Mountain, Bushy Knob, and Williamson Mountain. These ridges and peaks are separated by deep drainages like Cowhouse Creek and Henson Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find several remnants of the area's pre-military occupancy, specifically the Spring Hill Cem, Walker Cem, and Pruitt Cem, alongside the Spring Hill Ch. The map also details early industrial and infrastructure markers, such as a major Pipeline cutting across the northwestern quadrant and several scattered Borrow Pits and gravel extractions, reflecting the development of the reservation's road and landing strip facilities during the mid-century era.
