1970 Map of East Elm Creek

About this map

The boundary between Menard Co and Mason Co cuts through this landscape of deep drainages and upland plateaus, where the headwaters of the Elm Creek system converge. Life in this corner of the Edwards Plateau revolves around water and ranching, evidenced by the numerous Gravel Pits and isolated water sources scattered across the terrain. Notable landmarks like the High Lonesome Windmill and Nooksie Windmill serve as essential outposts for livestock in a region defined by its rugged topography, including Fox Hollow and Coon Hollow. The presence of a lone Cem near Menzie Creek and Coleman Spring provides a rare genealogical anchor for researchers looking into the early settlement families who managed these remote Texas rangelands.
