About this map

Kempner and the nearby settlement of Shortall occupy the eastern stretches of this Lampasas County landscape, where the Lampasas River and Sulphur Creek converge. The terrain is defined by its drainage network, with seasonal waterways like Mesquite Creek, Road Hollow Creek, and Lucy Creek carving through the countryside. Local transit is managed via a series of crossings and cuts, such as Brooks Crossing, Hallmark Crossing, and the evocatively named Deadmans Cut and Blue Cut, which likely represent early road or topographic modifications.

Genealogical interest is centered at the Pickett Cemetery near the eastern margin, while aviation history is represented by Kings Ranch Airport. The map documents a predominantly rural infrastructure connected by farm-to-market roads and county routes, including FM 580 and Farm RD 2313. From the waters of Adams Spring to the southern reaches of Panther Den Branch, the survey provides a detailed look at the rural property and creek systems of Central Texas.
