1968 Map of Yates

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Llano River carves a winding path through this portion of the Texas Hill Country, anchoring the small settlement at Yates. This 1968 field survey reveals a landscape where water determines the pattern of life, with major tributaries like Red Creek and Salty Creek cutting through the terrain. Evidence of local community roots is found at the Red Creek Cem north of the river and Ivy Chapel tucked near the confluence of Cedar Creek. To the south, the topography rises sharply into the Blue Mountains, where the elevation changes become more dramatic. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching and rural infrastructure coexisted with modern energy developments, indicated by a series of pipelines crossing the northern territory. Local industry is represented by a Gravel Pit near the river, illustrating the modest extraction activities common to the area during the late 1960s.
