1961 Map of Thomas Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The rolling ranchlands along the Guadalupe Co Wilson Co line are defined by a network of seasonal streams and traditional community centers in the early 1960s. Thomas Springs and Kings Hill anchor the central topography, while Ecleto Creek and its tributary East Fork Ecleto Creek drain the southern portion of the quadrangle. The map reveals the social fabric of the rural landscape through landmarks such as Zion Hill Ch, the adjacent Zion Hill Cem, and Jakes Colony Ch. A specific interest for local historians and land researchers is the depiction of Weinert Ranch and the fine red dashed lines indicating selected fence lines, which provide a rare look at the established property boundaries of the era. This document is a detailed study of the transitional drainage basin between Elm Creek and the Ecleto system, showing a place where traditional agricultural life continued alongside emerging infrastructure like a prominent Radio Tower and a cross-country Pipeline.
