About this map

The southern outskirts of Lockhart and the rural community of Joliet define this Central Texas landscape. The terrain is deeply etched by a complex network of waterways, including Clear Fork Plum Cr and W Fork Plum Cr, which create the undulating topography south of the city. A high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Vogel Cem, Loehmann Cem, and Harrison Cem, points to the long-standing agricultural settlement patterns of Caldwell County.

Modern infrastructure like the Lockhart Municipal Airport sits in contrast to the region's cattle-driving heritage, represented by the Chisholm Trail and Rattlesnake Run Trail to the northwest. This transition between the growing municipal borders of Lockhart and the open ranch land is further evidenced by the scattered ponds and the Soil Conservation Service Site 23 Reservoir in the eastern reaches of the survey.
