The Handbook
of Texas states that "until 1945 students attended Big
Square School, North of Dodd."
Another source mentions that a mausoleum is found in a private cemetery
on the North side of Dodd. The tomb is that of I. D. Beasley. Mausoleums
are pretty much a novelty west of Fort Worth.
Castro County has over 300,000 acres under irrigation, so it doesn't
fit the image most people have of West Texas. |
