1967 Map of Enchanted Rock

About this map

Enchanted Rock stands as the prominent landmark of this Central Texas landscape, situated at the confluence of several watercourses including Sandy Creek and Walnut Spring Creek. The 1967 survey reveals a rural terrain marked by family-named peaks and vital water sources such as Honey Spring and Walnut Spring. Traces of local history are visible in the placement of the Rossberg Cem and Moss Cem, while the Etheridge Landing Strip indicates modern accessibility into this pocket of the Hill Country. The presence of numerous Prospects and a Goldmine Creek suggest a history of mineral exploration throughout the creek-fed valleys. This environment is characterized by its high concentrations of drainage systems like North Helms Creek and South Helms Creek, illustrating a well-watered cattle and ranching region before major development arrived.
