About this map

Lockhart serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, illustrating a Texas community defined by its water management and transit corridors. The landscape is marked by a series of engineered flood control structures, including Site No 18 and Site No 20, which regulate the flow of Plum Creek and Elm Creek. These waterworks reflect the region's mid-century efforts to stabilize the agricultural and residential environment.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of rural cemeteries such as Ohlendorf Cem and Polonia Cem, alongside local landmarks like the Carver High Sch and San Pablo Cem. The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts through the southern portion of the quadrangle, highlighting the town's connection to broader shipping networks. From the Gaging Sta to the scattered gravel pits, the map documents a working landscape at the intersection of Hays and Caldwell counties.
