About this map

Mt Sharp and its associated Mt Sharp Cem anchor the northern landscape of this Texas Hill Country survey, which captures the area as it appeared in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Wanslow Creek, South Onion Creek, and the winding Blanco River in the southwest corner. The map documents an era of rural infrastructure, featuring the Wimberly-2 Pumping Sta and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the central hills.

Hydrological and geological features are central to the region's character, most notably the Jacobs Well (Flowing) spring and its nearby Jacobs Well Cem. Low-water transit points like Pleasant Valley Crossing illustrate how residents navigated the limestone-bedded streams before more modern bridge construction. Family-named landmarks such as Jack Mountain and Peach Mtn rise above the valleys, while localized industrial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and a Borrow Pit along the primary roadways.
