About this map

The settlement of Stoneburg serves as the focal point for this 1961 survey of north-central Texas, situated along the Fort Worth and Denver railroad line. The landscape is defined by the complex drainage systems of Belknap Creek, Middle Belknap Creek, and West Belknap Creek, which cut through a terrain marked by distinctive elevations such as Double Mounds and Flag Mound. Local resource extraction is evident through scattered Oil Field labels and a Gravel Pit, pointing to the region's mid-century economic activities.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the precise location of community landmarks, including Hopewell Cem and Little Hull Cem. The presence of Bowie Lake, featuring a Spillway Elev 916, provides a clear view of water management in Montague County during this era. The map also traces the Clay Co Montague Co line, illustrating the administrative boundary amidst a network of rural roads and the prominent path of Highway 81.
