Taken: 1932
Caption: Willow Ranch School for Black Students
Additional Description: Prior to school desegregation, as a 1932 map of Travis County shows, there was also a Willow Ranch School for Black students. Both schools were near the Manda Cemetery pointed to with a red arrow on map. The map mistakenly calls both schools "Willow Branch"; the name Willow Ranch is confirmed in numerous newspaper articles of that time. The map is the 1932 Topographic and Road Map, Travis County, by Travis County Engineering Department.
