1982 Map of McDade
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The town of Mc Dade sits at the southwestern edge of this landscape, anchored by the Southern Pacific railroad line that cuts through the Bastrop and Lee County borderlands. The terrain is defined by the prominent Yegua Knobbs and a dense network of watercourses including West Yegua Creek and Gum Spring Branch. This 1980s-era study reveals a rural Texas landscape heavily marked by family and community history, evidenced by a high concentration of cemeteries such as New Knobbs Springs Cem, Old Knobbs Springs Cem, and Bachman Cem. The southern portion of the map includes the edge of the Camp Swift Mil Res, while industrial activity is noted through scattered gravel pits and an unnamed Mine. Small community centers like The Knobbs and local landmarks such as St Andrews Ch provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in these wooded creek bottoms.
