1958 Map of Twin Mountains

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The hills and canyons of Central Texas define this mid-century survey, centered on the expanding settlement of Copperas Cove and the western edge of the Fort Hood Military Reservation. The landscape is dominated by distinctive mesas and peaks including Herzog Mountain, Anderson Mountain, and the namesake Twin Mountains. Local transit and economy are anchored by the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, which skirts the southern edge of the quadrangle. Rural life is evidenced by the presence of Topsey and several family-named landmarks like Beecham Gap. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed mapping of local burial sites and spiritual centers, such as Immanuel Ch, Immanuel Cem, and Botcher Cem. The drainages of Bennett Creek and House Creek carve through the limestone terrain, illustrating the natural water network before modern suburban development transformed the periphery of the military installation.
