1957 Map of Speegleville

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The confluence of the South Bosque River, Middle Bosque River, and Hog Creek defines this Central Texas landscape shortly before the expansion of Lake Waco. This 1950s survey captures a rural landscape transitioning toward petroleum and recreation, evidenced by the Bosque Oil Field and the Val Verde (Waco Baptist Encampment). The map preserves the locations of several small agrarian settlements and crossroads, including Ocee, Willow Grove, and Highland, along with numerous family and community landmarks like Speegleville Cem and the Shiloh Ch. Natural river crossings like Eichelberger Crossing and Flat Rock Crossing reflect an era when local travel was still dictated by the winding path of the Bosque River. The presence of scattered Gravel Pits and Oil Wells illustrates the mid-century industrial footprint on these Texas plains.
