2019 Map of Cat Spring

About this map

Cat Spring serves as the focal point of this rural Texas landscape, situated near the headwaters of Cat Spring Cr and surrounded by a network of historic family cemeteries. The mapping reveals a complex drainage system defined by the San Bernard River and the Little San Bernard River, which meander through the southern portion of the quadrangle near the boundary of Austin Co Colorado Co. This area is marked by its legacy of early German and local settlement, evident in the distribution of sites like Schlopata Cem, Johse Cem, and Millheim Cem. Further east, the small settlement of Red Hill and the Brandes Air Field indicate the continued agricultural and local aviation activity in the region. The map captures the transition of the land from the northern reaches of Hillbolt Lake down through the creek-fed valleys of Constance Cr and Swearingen Cr.
