About this map

Rocksprings serves as the focal point of this Edwards County survey, revealing the town's layout and infrastructure during the early 1970s. The map captures the transition from the historic Old Rock Springs site to the established town center, which includes essential local landmarks such as the High Sch, Hospital, and a local Park. The surrounding landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Dry Draw and Hackberry Creek, alongside localized water sources like Cedar Pond and Bates Tank.

Evidence of historical transit and utility is preserved through the alignment of the Old Sonora Road and an extensive Pipeline cutting across the northern terrain. Small-scale industrial activity is noted at a Gravel Pit near the center of the sheet, while a Cem and Radio Tower mark specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the physical evolution of this Texas Hill Country community.
