Kingsland Lake LBJ Highland Lakes Specie — Llano County

Lost Treasure TX • Llano County County
Description
Kingsland legend of a Highland Lakes resort specie cache on Lake Lyndon B. Johnson — where the Llano River meets the Colorado chain east of Marble Falls.
Historical Notes
Kingsland sits at the confluence of the Llano River and Lake Lyndon B. Johnson in the Highland Lakes region downstream from Marble Falls. The Austin and Northwestern branch to Llano opened in 1892; Kingsland became a recreation and retirement center after LCRA dam construction. Resort and riverboat specie folklore appears along the Colorado chain wherever lakefront subdivisions replaced nineteenth-century crossings. Related Llano County gold entries document Kingsland Slab placer sites; this pin records separate buried-specie legend tradition. Coordinates mark Kingsland at the Llano River arm of Lake LBJ in Llano County east of Marble Falls.
