1970 Map of Hext

About this map

Hext stands as a small crossroads community on the eastern edge of Menard County at the opening of the 1970s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage draws and springs that feed into larger watercourses like Twomile Creek and Little Saline Creek. A Community Center serves the local population, while the surrounding terrain is marked by isolated water sources vital for ranching, including Mud Spring, Cistern Spring, and the uniquely named High Lonesome Windmill. The presence of numerous named springs, such as Franklin Spring and Indian Spring, underscores the critical importance of reliable water points in this portion of the Edwards Plateau. State Highway 29 provides the primary transit corridor, passing a Roadside Park and several Gravel Pits that suggest local road maintenance and small-scale surface extraction during this era.
