About this map

Lytton Springs and the surrounding ranchlands of Bastrop and Caldwell counties appear here at the end of the 1960s, defined by a landscape of rolling creeks and rural community centers. The map shows a clear concentration of civic life around Saint Marys Ch and its accompanying Saint Marys Community Center, while the presence of the U S Military Reservation and National Guard Armory indicates the area's strategic role during this era.

Resource extraction is evident throughout the terrain, from the Elroy Oil Field in the northwest to various scattered Oil Wells and Drill Holes. Waterways like Cedar Creek and Maha Creek snake through the quadrangle, with Upper Cedar Creek Cem and Lower Cedar Creek Cem providing critical data points for genealogists tracking family plots along these drainage basins. These rural markers, alongside the namesake Lytton settlement, illustrate the traditional settlement patterns of Central Texas before modern suburban expansion.
