About this map

Lockhart State Park and the southern reaches of Lockhart define this mid-1960s landscape, where the town's residential expansion meets the creek-carved topography of Caldwell County. The intricate drainage network of Plum Creek and its many tributaries, including Clear Fork Plum Creek and Dry Branch, creates a varied terrain marked by numerous gravel pits and specialized infrastructure.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial grounds tucked into the countryside, such as Popps Cem, Harrison Cem, and Loehmann Cem. Traces of earlier transportation patterns are visible in the Old Railroad Grade running north to south, while the presence of a Drive-in Theater, Municipal Airport, and the small community of Joliet provides a window into the mid-century social and economic geography of the area.
