1963 Map of Lost Creek

About this map

Brady Creek and Little Brady Creek converge in this section of the Edwards Plateau, where the boundary between McCulloch and San Saba counties divides a landscape of drainage draws and high ridges. The area reflects a balance of public recreation and natural resources during the early 1960s, evidenced by the presence of Camp Billy Gibbons and a nearby Roadside Park along the highway corridor. A Gravel Pit indicates localized industrial activity amidst the network of seasonal and permanent waterways like Richland Springs Creek and the meandering Plum Hollow. This 1963 survey captures the terrain just before the era of widespread land modifications, preserving the original courses of Honey Creek and Lost Creek as they feed into the larger regional basins.
