About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad anchors the local geography of this Texas landscape, connecting the small settlement of Harwood to the surrounding ranching and transit corridors. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sandy Fork and its tributaries, including Scruggs Creek and Reed Creek. Small rural communities and family legacies are visible through the placement of the Fullilove Cem and Haschke Cem, alongside community centers like Mt Zion Ch and St Union Ch.

Industry and transport are woven into the land, with several Gravel Pits and a Sandpit marking areas of resource extraction. The map also records the boundary line between Caldwell Co and Gonzales Co, providing a clear look at how county lines intersected local roads and properties during the mid-20th century. A series of pipelines crossing the territory further illustrates the modernization of this rural area.
