1962 Map of Leander

About this map

Leander sits at the heart of this Central Texas landscape, characterized in the early 1960s by its connection to the Southern Pacific railroad and the convergence of several major creek systems. The survey reveals a network of small, scattered communities like Walkerton, White Stone, and Cedar Park along the 183 corridor. The rural social fabric is visible through landmarks such as the Independent School and New Hope Ch, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds including Bagdad Cem and Upchurch Cem. Much of the economy appears tied to the land, with several Quarries and Gravel Pit operations dotting the terrain. The northern portion is defined by the winding course of the South Fork San Gabriel River, while the southern reaches are drained by Brushy Creek and its many tributaries, including Spanish Oak Creek and Cluck Creek.
