1956 Map of Algerita

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The San Saba River carves a winding path through this Central Texas landscape, defining the rural character of the region during the mid-1950s. The northern portion of the map is anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which parallels the river and serves the small community of Algerita. Settlement patterns here follow the creek valleys, with several small family and community burial grounds, such as China Creek Cemetery and Davidson Cemetery, dotting the terrain. The presence of the Wallace Creek Sch near the center of the sheet indicates a once-active local school district serving the surrounding ranchlands. To the south, the topography grows more distinct around the Harkey Knobs, where several seasonal waterways like Billie Branch and Robbins Branch drain into the primary river valley. Revisions from 1982 highlight changes in woodland cover and infrastructure, while maintaining the historical footprint of ranching outposts like the Ellis Ranch.
