Landmarks & Vanished Communities

This index preserves the TXGenWeb collection of named places, geographic features, historic sites, and vanished communities associated with Scurry County, Texas.

About the coordinates: The USGS no longer maintains the GNIS database links formerly used by this collection. Copy and paste a latitude/longitude pair into a modern map service to view the location. Older coordinates may reflect NAD27 rather than NAD83, so some points can appear slightly displaced.

Hudd (Hud) pop place 32.926389, -100.679444 Located twenty miles northeast of Snyder, Texas, in the canyonland between Little Rough Creek and Goldstens Branch near the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River in the northeastern corner of Scurry County. It developed as a farming and ranching community perhaps as early as the 1890s. By 1901 a post office was created and James B. Hudnall, for whom the community was named, served as the first postmaster. J. D. [Buddy] Hudnall (born 1916) told an interviewer that his mother operated a store at their home beginning about 1908 and that a post office called Hud was in the store. Hudnall remembered that their neighbors came to the store to collect mail and that later the store had a gas station. Children from Hud community in the years Hudnall was a student [1923-1930] attended Cottonwood School, about three miles away and located south of Little Rough Creek. From the taking of the 1920 federal census through 1929 Hud community claimed a population of fifteen. In the 1930s Scurry County, like most of the nation, was hit by economic depression. The Hudnall store closed in 1931 and the post office closed by 1934, leaving the community without a focus. The name of the community continued to be shown on state highway maps as late as 1986. Sources: State Department of Highways and Public Transportation, General Highway Map of Scurry County, revised 1 Sep 1986, labeled the community as "Hudd;" SDHPT, General Highway Map of Kent County, revised 1 Sep 1985; Henry Gannett, A Gazetteer of Texas, USGS Bulletin 224 (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1904), 87, called it Hud; Luther Bryan Clegg, ed., The Empty Schoolhouse: Memories of One-Room Texas Schools (College Station: Texas A&M Univ. Press, 1997), 89-90, 123-124, 216, give reminiscences of Buddy Hudnall; Ed Bartholomew, 800 Texas Ghost Towns (Ft. Davis: Frontier Book Publishers, 1971), 52; Charles G. Davis, "Hudd, Texas," in The New Handbook of Texas, Vol. 3 (Austin: TSHA, 1996), 760; Charles Deaton , Texas Postal History Handbook (Houston: by author, 1980), 107, listed the community as Hud; 1925 Texas Almanac, 61; 1926 Texas Almanac, 81; 1927 Texas Almanac, 76; 1929 Texas Almanac, 57; 1931 Texas Almanac, 144; all almanacs called the community by its post office name, Hud.
