1959 Map of Tin Top

About this map

The Brazos River creates a dramatic series of loops through the Parker and Hood County line, most notably at the sharp turn of Horseshoe Bend. This 1959 field-checked landscape is defined by its deep alluvial valleys including Blair Valley, Hightower Valley, and Peveler Valley, which supported several small rural communities and church-centered settlements. Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of New Prospect Ch, Fairview Ch, and Temple Hall Ch, alongside family-named landmarks like Cidwell and the Herring Cem.
