About this map

Pedernales River frontage and family-named ranch lands define this portion of the Texas Hill Country as it appeared in the early 1960s. The settlement of Hye serves as a focal point along the northern corridor, while the LBJ Ranch and Johnson Cem reflect the local heritage of the area. Further south, the map details the rural community infrastructure near Albert, including a network of named rangeland such as Wilke Ranch and Schumann Ranch.

The landscape is marked by the transition from river bottom to the creek-fed hills of the Gillespie and Blanco County line. Scholarly and spiritual life is recorded through several sites, including the Old Junction School, Pleasant Hill Sch, and Rocky Community Ch. The presence of the Pipeline and local roads like Schumann Road and Maenius Road illustrate the connectivity between these remote agrarian outposts and family homesteads.
