1931 Map of Valley Mills

About this map

The North Bosque River and Middle Bosque River carve through McLennan County, shaping a rural landscape of dispersed farming communities and river crossings. This 1931 edition reflects a topography defined by local social hubs, where Lone Hill Ch and Shiloh Ch stand as landmarks for the surrounding homesteads. The importance of the river for local transit is evident in named fords such as Eichelberger Crossing and Flat Rock Crossing, which provided essential passage before the widespread construction of modern bridges.
