2010 Map of Castell

About this map

Castell serves as the central hub of this Hill Country landscape, situated along the southern bank of the Llano River. The surrounding terrain is defined by a dense concentration of family burial grounds, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of the local community. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites including Honig Cemetery, Schneider Cemetery, Vasterling Cemetery, Otto and Offer Cemetery, Birk Cemetery, and Hoffman Cemetery, most of which are clustered near the river valley. Further south, the topography rises toward Meusebach Ridge, where the drainage patterns of Vasterling Creek and Keyser Creek carve through the land. The network of rural roads like Keyserville Rd and Ranch Rd 152 connects these scattered homesteads and landmarks, preserving a layout of Texas ranching life that has persisted into the early 21st century.
