About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, where German and Czech heritage is evident in the rural social centers of Ammannsville and Holman. The 1950s terrain is marked by a network of local institutions that anchored these farming communities, including St Wenceslaus Ch, St Paul Ch, and Bethlehem Ch. The educational landscape is represented by the Hostyn Sch and Pecan Sch, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Mullins Prairie and Cozy Corner.

Hydrological features like Williams Creek, White Creek, and Brushy Creek segment the topography, while an Old RR Grade hints at the changing transportation patterns of the mid-20th century. Numerous Gravel Pits and a Historical Monument near the river highlight the local resource extraction and the community's preservation of its past. The map also records several family cemeteries, such as the Brandt Cem and Bictner Cem, providing valuable data for genealogical research.
