2016 Map of Biry

About this map

Mussman Cem sits on a high point overlooking the seasonal drainages of central Medina County, marking a localized pocket of family history within this ranching landscape. The settlement of Biry is situated in the northeast, positioned where the terrain transitions toward the more frequent crossings of Brier Br. The map reveals a complex network of watercourses, including the winding Hondo Creek and the bifurcated George Wilson Lake Number 1 and George-Wilson Lake Number 2, which suggest managed water resources essential for the local agricultural economy. Named local roads like Faseler Ln and various county routes connect scattered homesteads, reflecting a dispersed settlement pattern typical of this Texas region. This survey captures the topographical nuances of the land as it drains toward E Tehuacana Cr and Elm Slough, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure and land use in the mid-2010s.
