About this map

Lake Waco and the confluence of the Middle Bosque River and South Bosque River define the northern landscape of this mid-1960s survey. The area shows a transition from rural agricultural land to early suburban development, particularly around Woodway. Transport and infrastructure are prominent, with the St Louis Southwestern railroad cutting a straight line across the prairie toward the Mc Gregor Municipal Airfield in the west.

Southward, the terrain becomes more varied around Hubby Hill and the drainage of North Cow Bayou, where several reservoirs and water management features like Spillway Elev 638 are established. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of the Harris Creek Ch and the remote Horne Cem, along with numerous gravel pits and quarries that point to the industrial activities of the era.
