1956 Map of Caradan

About this map

The community of Caradan sits at the heart of this mid-century ranching landscape where the Hamilton Co Mills Co boundary line divides the drainage basins of the Lampasas River and Bennett Creek. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Lookout Mountain and Huckabee Hill, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses including Mustang Creek, Gholson Creek, and Merrell Creek. Evidence of earlier settlement patterns persists in the distribution of rural institutions, from the Land School in the north to the Midway Sch (Aband) further south.
