1959 Map of Nix

About this map

The small rural settlement of Nix sits at the crossroads of Lampasas County in the late 1950s, serving as a quiet focal point for a landscape defined by rolling hills and creek beds. The map captures a transition in water management with the presence of several reservoirs, including Reservoir No 1 and Reservoir No 2, situated alongside historic watercourses like Donalson Creek and Hughes Creek. Evidence of local community life is preserved through the locations of the McCreaville Ch and the Pitt Creek Cem, the latter located near Pitt Hollow. The topography is marked by distinctive elevations such as Waters Mountain and Cedar Top Peak, while the southern portion of the sheet reveals the Lampasas Co Burnet Co line, providing a clear view of the jurisdictional boundaries and land use patterns of the era.
