1959 Map of Lometa

About this map

The Colorado River carves a winding path along the western edge of this Lampasas County landscape, creating dramatic bends such as McAnelly Bend and the landmark Old Letdown Point. Situated at a key junction of the At & Sf RR, the town of Lometa serves as the regional hub, surrounded by a topography defined by limestone quarries and deep canyons like Pole Bar Canyon. Notable for its natural springs, the area features the cascades of Gorman Falls and the secluded Gorman Spring. Genealogy researchers will find several historic burial sites, including Center Cem and Nix Cem, along with the Senterfitt (Site), marking the location of an earlier settlement. The landscape's agricultural and industrial character is evident in the numerous family-named landmarks like Vann Ranch and the Southwest Ledge Quarries.
