1971 Map of Elbow Lake

About this map

The South Llano River snakes through the northern portion of this Texas Hill Country quadrangle, where the river's path is marked by a series of distinct water bodies including Elbow Lake, Mud Lake, and McKenzie Lake. This 1970s landscape is defined by its drainage patterns, with significant features like McKenzie Draw, Phillips Draw, and Dragoo Hollow channeling water toward the river valley. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching environment during the early 1970s, highlighting the Taylor Ranch as a primary settlement point.
