1967 Map of Art

About this map

The small community of Art serves as a focal point in this 1967 survey of Mason County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Llano River. This region is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting several family and community burial sites such as the West Art Cem, East Art Cem, and the riverside Kothmann Cem. The terrain rises toward Hedwigs Hill in the south, while the hydrography is marked by numerous seasonal drainages and springs, including Mulberry Spring and Twelvemile Creek. The mapping of fine red dashed lines indicating fence lines suggests a rural economy tied to land division and livestock, punctuated by local landmarks like the Roadside Park and the Gaging Sta on the riverbanks.
