1956 Map of Tarpley

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bandera County ranchlands and rural outposts are documented in this mid-century reprint of earlier military reconnaissance. Centered on Tarpley, the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Hondo Creek and Seco Creek, where a network of family-named ranches like the Risinger Ranch and Miller Ranch anchored the local economy. The transition from the rugged Hill Country terrain into the Edwards Plateau is marked by prominent summits such as Seco Mt and Flag or Barnes Mt. Notable local landmarks include the German Settlement near the eastern boundary and the Old Montell Camp near the Uvalde County line. Utility infrastructure is represented by the Humble Pipeline and an associated Linewalkers Shack, indicating the early industrial footprint across these remote pastures.
