1963 Map of Crabapple Creek

About this map

The Blanco River and its southern fork wind through the limestone-carved terrain of the Texas Hill Country in this early 1960s survey. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages, including the aptly named Sleepy Hollow and Barker Hollow, which feed into Crabapple Creek and the Little Blanco River. Human settlement is centered around small gathering points and agricultural hubs such as the Lindendale Community Hall in the northwest and Kendalia to the southeast. The area reflects a rural economy shaped by both water and stone, evidenced by a Gravel Pit near the river and the tight cluster of buildings at Flugrath. Numerous springs and seasonal creeks like Manahan Creek and Rawls Creek punctuate the wooded draws, illustrating the critical role of surface water in these ranching uplands.
