1967 Map of Art

About this map

The Llano River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating a distinct topographical divide between the settlements of Art and Hedwigs Hill. The map reveals a community deeply rooted in the land, with numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the drainage basins of Willow Creek and Mulberry Creek. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of localized burial grounds such as West Art Cem, East Art Cem, and the Kothmann Cem. A Gaging Sta and Roadside Park along the southern riverbank indicate the importance of water monitoring and early highway travel in this area. The intersection of Fly Gap Road with local thoroughfares further illustrates the historical transport network connecting these rural Mason County outposts.
