1959 Map of Nix

About this map

Nix and the surrounding Hill Country of Central Texas appear here as they were documented in the late 1950s. The landscape is defined by its water management and sparse upland settlements, characterized by several artificial reservoirs including Reservoir No 1 and Reservoir No 2 on Donalson Creek. These water features sit amidst a rugged topography of named heights such as Waters Mountain and Carter Mountains, with Graveyard Hollow cutting through the center of the sheet. Local life is anchored by traditional landmarks like McCreaville Ch and the Nix Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogists tracing families in this portion of the county. The transition between Lampasas and Burnet Counties is marked by an Approximate Boundary, while the presence of a Quarry and various branches like Mc Crea Branch reflect the rural economy and natural drainage of the Middle Fork Yancy Creek system.
