1954 Map of Pearl

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Pearl and Bee House serve as the primary nodes of settlement in this central Texas landscape, where the plateaus of the Edwards Plateau transition into dissected creek valleys. The drainage patterns of Cowhouse Creek and its tributaries, such as North Bee House Creek and Bullard Creek, dictate the placement of early roads and homesteads. Local family names and geography are etched into the terrain at Fletchers Point and Wayback Mountain, while several springs like Whiteleather Spring and Old Cottonwood Spring underscore the importance of water sources in this environment. Significant landmarks include the Twin Mountain peaks and the crossing at Cromleans near the Lampasas County line. Evidence of local industry is present through scattered extraction sites, including a Rock Quarry and various Caliche Pits, while a prominent Pipe Line cuts across the southeastern quadrant, marking modern infrastructure development amidst the traditional ranching landscape.
