About this map

Bertram serves as the primary hub in this Texas Hill Country landscape, situated where the rolling uplands begin to break into the drainage basins of the S Fork San Gabriel River. The area is defined by a series of distinct ridges and hollows, including the prominent Post Oak Ridge and the aptly named Flatrock Hollow, which shape the local road network. To the south, the community of Oatmeal maintains its historical identity, anchored by the Oatmeal Cemetery and the nearby Oatmill Cem.

Genealogists will find a cluster of family and community burial sites scattered across the terrain, from Mount Zion Cem in the northwest to South Gabriel Cem and Hopewell Cem further south. The map also captures the influence of private aviation on the local ranching economy, with both the McFarlin Ranch Airport and Liberty Hill Air Ranch integrated into the rural landscape. This modern survey provides a detailed look at how historical settlements and landforms like Buzzard Roost persist alongside newer rural developments.
