1955 Map of Valley Spring

About this map

Valley Spring serves as the primary focal point of this mid-1950s survey of the Texas Hill Country, situated where Sand Spring Creek and Johnson Creek converge. The landscape is defined by its intermittent drainage patterns and scattered landmarks of local importance, including Shiloh Ch and two distinct burial sites, Valley Spring Cem and Salem Cem. A network of unpaved roads and windmills points to a predominantly ranching-based economy during this era, while an Inactive Quarry near Wolf Mountain suggests earlier industrial efforts in the area. Prominent geological features like Deer Mountain and Phillips Rock break the undulating terrain, providing a look at the rural Llano County geography before significant modern development altered these traditional property lines and transit routes.
