1967 Map of Lake Victor

About this map

Lake Victor sits at the heart of this landscape, serving as a hub for the surrounding ranching and extraction lands in Burnet County. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade running through the settlement indicates the shifting transportation priorities of the late 1960s, as former rail corridors gave way to local road networks. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex drainage system, including the North Fork San Gabriel River and numerous branches like Allen Branch and South Rocky Creek. This survey is particularly valuable for genealogical research, documenting family-linked landmarks such as Tomlinson Cem, Dobyville Cem, and Double Cem. Numerous Gravel Pit sites scattered across the topography reflect the local importance of aggregate mining in the area's mid-century economy.
