About this map

Fort Croghan Historical Site and Post Mountain overlook the city of Burnet in this late 1960s survey of the Texas Hill Country. The landscape shows a mix of frontier heritage and mid-century growth, where the Southern Pacific tracks and an Old Grade Railroad corridor trace the path of historic transport. Institutional life is well-documented near the town center, featuring Burnet High Sch, the Allen Hospital, and Tommy White Park.

The surrounding rural sections are marked by family-named landscape features and cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research, including Pebble Mound Cem and Pleasant Hill Cem. The drainage patterns of the North Fork San Gabriel River and Hamilton Creek are punctuated by numerous Gravel Pits, indicating the local extractive industries. To the north, the Bethel Community Center and Bethel Cem serve as a focal point for the outlying homesteads.
