1968 Map of Turtle Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Llano River winds through the heart of this Mason County landscape, carving a deep path where it meets the waters of the James River. This 1968 survey captures the Hill Country’s rural character, dominated by watercourses and the practical infrastructure of ranching and early industry. To the south, James River Road follows the waterway's contour, providing access to a small Cem and several Gravel Pits near the riverbanks. The drainage network is dense, with Honey Creek and Turtle Creek feeding into the Llano from the north, while Mill Creek joins the James River from the southwest. Human presence is sparse but distinct, marked by a lone Corral and isolated wells, suggesting a landscape primarily utilized for livestock and mineral extraction in the late 1960s.
