About this map

The town of Bertram sits in the northern reaches of this Burnet County landscape, where the local road network fans out across the Texas Hill Country. Further south, the historic settlement of Oatmeal remains a key landmark, surrounded by family-named ranching properties and small private airfields like the Pitts Ranch Airport and Flying X Ranch Airport. This area is defined by its drainages, primarily the South Fork San Gabriel River and Oatmeal Creek, which carve through a terrain of local ridges and bends.

For those tracing family history, several burial grounds are scattered across the quadrangle, including Mount Zion Cemetery, South Gabriel Cemetery, and Hopewell Cemetery. The map reflects a landscape of rural transition, where traditional ranching lands meet modern country roads like FM 1174 and Oatmeal Loop. Distinctive natural landmarks such as Post Oak Ridge and Buzzard Roost provide a sense of the local topography as it was documented in the early 21st century.
