About this map

Johnson City serves as the focal point of this early 1960s Hill Country survey, centered near the confluence of Towhead Creek and Flat Creek before they join the Pedernales River. The town is well-established with civic infrastructure including a High Sch, Hospital, and Fairgrounds. Beyond the town center, the landscape is marked by small private landing strips such as Waller Airfield and Winter Airfield, reflecting the importance of light aviation in rural Texas at this time.

To the northwest, the settlement of Sandy sits along Hickory Creek, accompanied by the Sandy Cem. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Buffalo Peak and the VABM Klett 1499 station. Notable local features such as the Happy Old Folks Home and various Borrow Pits provide specific landmarks for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical development of Blanco County during this era.
