1930 Map of Lockhart

About this map

The rolling plains of Comanche Flat and the surrounding drainage basins characterize this central Texas landscape during the mid-1920s. Established by the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers, the map highlights a rural infrastructure built around small family-named centers and a robust network of country schools including Lovely Plant Sch, Harmony Grove Sch, and Ellison Sch. These schoolhouses, often spaced just miles apart, indicate the density of the rural population before mid-century consolidation.
