1968 Map of Signal Hill

About this map

Cedar Valley sits at the northern edge of this late 1960s survey, where the dividing line between Travis Co and Hays Co cuts diagonally across the landscape. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ranch lands and drainages, with Signal Hill Ranch, Koenig Ranch, and Spillar Ranch occupying significant acreage. The geography is punctuated by the presence of numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry, indicating the local extractive industry of the time. Local history is anchored by Friendship Ch and family burying grounds such as Oliver Cem and Johnson Cem. Waterways like Slaughter Creek and Bear Creek wind through the hills, while Friday Mountain and Barden Hill provide prominent relief. The era is further captured by the emerging residential road network, including Rim Rock Trail and Kit Carson Dr, alongside industrial infrastructure like the prominent Pipeline corridors.
