About this map

The southern edges of Lockhart and the surrounding Caldwell County countryside are meticulously documented in this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the winding network of the Clear Fork Plum Creek and its many tributaries, including Pin Oak Creek and Seals Creek. To the west, Lockhart State Park preserves the creek-side topography, while the outskirts of town show the growth of civic infrastructure like the Municipal Airport and Golden Age Home.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is particularly valuable for its recording of numerous family-named burial grounds and small communities. Settlements such as Joliet and Stairtown appear alongside an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier transport corridors. Scattered Oil Wells and numerous Gravel Pits indicate the rural industrial activities of the era, while specific sites like the Harrison Cem, Koonsen Cem, and Loehmann Cem provide precise locations for ancestral research.
