1930 Map of Blanco-1

USGS Topo · Published 1930

About this map

The Colorado River and the Pedernales River carve deep, winding paths through the Central Texas landscape in this 1930 advance sheet. This survey, compiled in part from early aerial photographs by the Army Air Corps, shows the river systems before the creation of modern Highland Lakes reservoirs. The terrain is marked by dramatic river loops like Postoak Bend, Turkey Bend, and Baldwin Bend, where the water snakes around high ground. Local life in this rural era centered around landmarks such as Pleasant Grove Sch and crossings like Buggy Ford, which suggests the practicalities of travel before modern bridging. The broad, level terrain of Haynie Flat stands in contrast to the deeply etched drainage of Bee Creek, illustrating a landscape shaped entirely by its relationship to the water's edge and the underlying topography of the Blanco quadrangle.
