About this map

Johnson Creek meanders through the Texas Hill Country in the mid-1960s, anchoring a landscape of wooded draws and seasonal watercourses. The small community of Mountain Home serves as a local hub, featuring a Po and proximity to the State Fish Hatchery located just south of Cedar Lake. For local history researchers, the map identifies significant social and spiritual landmarks such as Sunset Ch and the adjacent Sunset Cem.

Transport and recreation patterns are evidenced by the presence of a Landing Strip and Roadside Park along the highway. The terrain is defined by its drainage network, including Rough Hollow and numerous seasonal branches like Fessenden Branch and Dry Branch. Further out, the map records the locations of Tecaboca Camp and the Duderstadt area near the Kerr and Gillespie County line, illustrating the rural residential and agricultural character of the era.
