1962 Map of Leander NE

About this map

The North Fork San Gabriel River carves a winding path through this portion of Williamson County, where the topography is defined by dozens of local hollows like Taylor Ray Hollow and Sycamore Hollow. This 1962 landscape reveals a rural Texas economy still centered on localized crossings and springs, such as Hunt Crossing and the notable Crockett Gardens Spring. The settlement pattern is largely decentralized, anchored by small community nodes like Seward Junction and several rural churches, including Union Hall Ch and Union Chapel. Genealogical researchers can locate several family burial grounds, including the Bullion Cem, Hunt Cem, and Anderson Cem, often situated near their namesake watercourses or the old Rock House. These features, along with the Middle Fork San Gabriel River, illustrate a complex network of drainage and early land use before significant modern suburban expansion.
