1955 Map of Pontotoc

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Pontotoc sits at the junction of Mason, San Saba, and Llano counties, serving as a focal point for the surrounding cattle country in the mid-1950s. The settlement's history is written into the landscape through the presence of both the Old Pontotoc Cem and the New Pontotoc Cem, suggesting the community's longevity. To the east, the landscape transitions into the hills of Lone Oak Mountain and the rocky outcrops of High Rock and Panther Rock. The map reveals a rural economy based on large landholdings like the Taylor Ranch and 9-Bar Ranch, while signs of shifting social patterns appear at the Hutchinson Sch (Aband). Water sources such as West Deep Creek and Field Creek drain the terrain, providing essential resources for the dispersed ranching homesteads that characterize this portion of the Texas Hill Country.
