About this map

Lohn and Pear Valley anchor this central Texas landscape, where the northern slopes of the Brady Mountains descend into a network of creek forks. This 1970s survey captures the agricultural and ranching character of the region, featuring a system of property boundaries marked by fine red dashed lines that indicate selected fence lines. The rural infrastructure is well-defined, ranging from the Athletic Field and Lohn Cem near the town center to isolated Well sites and Gravel Pits that suggest local industry.

Water management is central to the area's geography, with the West Fork and East Fork converging near the BR 1567 corridor. Natural landmarks like Cow Gap and Cottonwood Canyon provide topographical variety against the otherwise steady terrain of the valley floors. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of named settlements like Broadmore and small cemeteries offers a specific look at the community footprint during the mid-20th century.
