About this map

The winding Blanco River and its numerous tributaries dictate the layout of this Central Texas landscape, captured here in the mid-1960s. The village of Wimberley serves as the focal point in the northwest, situated near the confluence of Cypress Creek and the river. This period shows a transition from traditional rural ranching to the early development of recreational and residential enclaves, evidenced by the proximity of established holdings like Winn Ranch and Fulton Ranch to newer named areas such as Flight Acres.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a high density of family-named landmarks and infrastructure, including Pioneer Town and various cattle-era legacy properties like the Scrutchin Ranch. The terrain is characterized by deep hollows, such as Heaton Hollow and Pierce Hollow, while the uplands feature significant summits like Eagle Mountain. Early aviation and utility footprints are also visible via the Landing Strip and a prominent Pipeline corridor that cuts across the hill country north of Hugo Road.
