1956 Map of Cherokee

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Llano River and its tributary, the Little Llano River, anchor this mid-1950s survey of the Central Texas hill country. In the southern portion, the town of Llano is a central hub of activity, featuring the Llano City Lake and the Texas and New Orleans (Southern Pacific) railroad line. Further north, the settlement of Babyhead shows signs of transition with its Babyhead Ch (Aband) and Babyhead Sch (Aband) labeled as abandoned, though the Babyhead Cem remains a fixed point of local history. Notable granite and limestone landforms like Marley Peaks and Babyhead Mountain rise above the drainage basins of Cherokee Creek and Pecan Creek. The landscape reflects a mix of ranching and early industrial sites, including a Quarry and Gravel Pit near Lone Grove, alongside the developing infrastructure of the Llano County Airport.
