Wimberley Stage Robbery Loot — Hays County

Wimberley developed as a mill and ranching community on Cypress Creek in western Hays County, on routes connecting Austin to San Marcos and the Blanco River country. Post–Civil War banditry and cattle-rustling were common in the Hill Country. Regional treasure guides describe unrecovered stagecoach strongboxes and robbery proceeds buried in creek bottoms and limestone hills between Austin and Wimberley — overlapping Sam Bass–era timelines but without the specific documentation of the Round Rock or McNeil tales. Coordinates approximate Wimberley. Much of Cypress Creek corridor is private ranch land and residential development.
