1961 Map of Thomas Springs

About this map

Zion Hill Ch and its adjacent Zion Hill Cem anchor the northern landscape of this rural region on the border of Guadalupe and Wilson Counties. Surveyed in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including Sandies Creek and the East Fork Ecleto Creek, which carve through the elevations around Kings Hill. Small community clusters like Dugger, Clayton, and Jakes Colony Ch suggest a dispersed agricultural settlement pattern typical of the South Texas brush country before significant modern development.
