About this map

The Blanco River snakes through this Hays County landscape in the early 1960s, defining a terrain of limestone cuts and upland peaks. Notable elevations like Mt Sharp, Jack Mountain, and Peach Mtn rise above a dense network of drainages including Wanslow Creek and the namesake Rough Hollow. The presence of Jacobs Well (Flowing) and the Wimberly 2 WT Pumping Sta highlights the region's critical reliance on artesian water and groundwater infrastructure.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Mt Sharp Cem and Valley Ford Cem, while old transportation routes are marked by the Pleasant Valley Crossing on the river. The map also documents industrial activity through scattered Gravel Pits and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the southeastern hills, illustrating the rural character of the Texas Hill Country before modern suburban expansion.
