1932 Map of Marble Falls

About this map

Colorado River meanders through the central Texas hill country in the early 1930s, long before the modern Highland Lakes system transformed this stretch of the river valley. The landscape is defined by its industrial and agricultural hubs, notably at Marble Falls and Kingsland, which were linked by the Southern Pacific railroad. The importance of the local granite industry is evident at Granite Mountain and the nearby Granite Mountain Station, which served as critical points for transporting stone from the local quarries.
