1957 Map of Speegleville

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The North Bosque River, Middle Bosque River, and South Bosque River converge in this central Texas landscape, where the rising waters of the Waco Reservoir meet the surrounding prairie. This mid-century survey documents a rural community in transition, centering on the small settlement of Speegleville and the outlying clusters at Ocee and Willow Grove. The presence of established river crossings like Caldwell Crossing and Eichelberger Crossing alongside more modern developments, such as the Val Verde (Camp Fire Girls Camp) and a private Landing Strip, illustrates the evolving land use as the reservoir infrastructure altered the local geography. Numerous Gravel Pit sites and an Oil Well dot the terrain, while landmarks like Shiloh Ch, Evergreen Cem, and Mc Lennan Cem provide essential anchor points for genealogists tracing family roots in this corner of McLennan County.
