1957 Map of Valley Mills
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The North Bosque River winds through this central Texas landscape, defining the layout of Valley Mills as it stood in the mid-20th century. The town's economic lifeblood is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which cuts through the heart of the settlement. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, identifying multiple burial sites including Old Valley Mills Cem, Thiele Cem, and Goodall Cem. To the east, the Waco Boys Camp (YMCA) sits near a pronounced Horseshoe Bend in the river, reflecting the area's recreational use. The terrain is marked by significant drainages like Childress Creek and the long reach of Thompson Hollow, while the Bosque and McLennan county line bisects the southeastern corner near the Delmar Ranch.
