About this map

The Lampasas River and its numerous tributaries, including Sulphur Creek and Lucy Creek, define the topography of this central Texas landscape. Situated along the corridor of Highway 190, the town of Kempner serves as a primary settlement, while the smaller community of Shortall sits to the west near the distinctive geological features of Deadmans Cut and Blue Cut. These "cuts" likely suggest the path of local infrastructure through the varied terrain of the Balcones Escarpment region.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks such as Pickett Cem and the Alexander Family Cem, providing specific points for researchers tracing ancestral roots in this area. The map also delineates the boundary between Lampasas Co and Burnet Co, showing how private holdings like King's Ranch Airport and various ranch roads, such as Mt Pleasant Rd, intersect with the natural flow of Mesquite Cr and Panther Den Br.
