1963 Map of Lockhart North

About this map

The town of Lockhart anchors the southern edge of this survey, serving as a hub for the surrounding central Texas agricultural landscape. The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts through the terrain, paralleling the course of Plum Creek and its many tributaries, such as Elm Creek and Boggy Creek. Several flood control reservoirs, identified as Site No 18, Site No 20, and Site No 21, indicate mid-century water management efforts across the watershed. Rural life is evidenced by a high density of local burial grounds and schools, including the St Pablo Cem and Polonia Cem, along with the Carver High Sch within the town limits. The map also captures the transition from open fields to the developed streets of the city, including sites like the Hospital and various Gravel Pits.
