1964 Map of Contrary Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Midway Station and Mountain Home serve as the primary hubs in this corner of the Hill Country, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Johnson Creek and Contrary Creek. The topography is marked by a network of drainage systems, including the aptly named Rough Hollow, which feed into the larger creek basins. This 1964 field-checked survey reveals a rural economy dependent on scattered resources, evidenced by multiple Gravel Pit sites and the East Windmill. Transportation in this era is characterized by local routes and a specialized Landing Strip, suggesting a reliance on light aircraft for connectivity in the more isolated stretches of the county. The proximity of Contrary Spring to the creek that shares its name illustrates the vital role of natural water sources for the small settlements and ranching operations established here in the mid-1960s.
