About this map

The community of Wimberley and the upper reaches of Cypress Creek anchor the southern portion of this mid-1960s study in Hays Co. The landscape is defined by the recurring theme of "Lone Man" and "Lone Woman" features, including Lone Man Mountain, Lone Woman Mountain, and the winding Lone Man Creek. These names reflect a local nomenclature tied to the prominent limestone uplifts of the Texas Hill Country, such as Old Baldy and the Little Twin Sister Peaks.

Large family holdings and pastoral operations are well-documented throughout the quadrangle, with Storm Ranch, Newberry Ranch, and Nugent Bros Ranch occupying significant acreage. The presence of the Blue Hole Campground and a local Rodeo Ground near the southern boundary suggests the area's emerging role as a recreational destination during this period. Local travel is marked by historic thoroughfares like Old Kyle Road and Skyline Drive, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure before modern suburban expansion.
