1961 Map of Stoneburg

About this map

Stoneburg serves as a central hub in this North Texas landscape, situated along the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroad line. The map highlights a rural community anchored by historical sites such as Hopewell Ch, Hopewell Cem, and Adora Cem, providing valuable location data for genealogists. The terrain is defined by the branching network of Belknap Creek, including its West and Middle forks, which feed into Bowie Lake near the Ford Spillway. Prominent topographic features like Double Mounds and Flag Mound rise above the drainage basins, while the Underwood Ray Field and scattered oil wells indicate the region's petroleum history. In the southwest corner, the Fort Worth and Denver railroad cuts across the Clay Co and Montague Co line, reflecting the importance of rail transport to the local economy during the early 1960s.
