About this map

The tiny settlement of Henly serves as the focal point for this 1963 survey of the Texas Hill Country near the Blanco Co Hays Co boundary. The landscape is defined by its numerous watercourses, including the headwaters of Onion Creek and its many tributaries like Millseat Branch and Cadell Branch. Higher elevations are marked by Gainor Mountain and Mount Gainor to the southeast, while Roundtree Mountain rises to the south.

Local history is deeply rooted in family names, evidenced by the high density of small burial grounds such as Pursley Cem, Middlebrooks Cem, and McKellar Cem. The presence of several Gravel Pit locations and a private Landing Strip suggests a shift toward small-scale industry and private aviation alongside traditional ranching. The road network remains sparse, with the primary highway through Henly crossing Henly Branch as it winds through the limestone-scored terrain.
