The expansion of Lake Waco in the 1950s concerned Speegleville residents for many reasons. This map shows the location of Speegleville prior to the enlargement of the lake, just west of the city of Waco. The larger body of water required many citizens to uproot homes and businesses, as well as the relocation of several other institutions such as the Speegleville School, the local Baptist church, and Greenwood Cemetery.
