About this map

Cat Spring serves as the focal point of this coastal plains landscape, situated near the headwaters of several drainage systems. The Missouri Kansas Texas railroad cuts across the northern terrain, following a path that parallels Panther Creek and Plum Creek. The geography is defined by the winding course of the San Bernard River and the Little San Bernard River, which snake through the western and southern portions of the quadrangle, occasionally crossing the Austin Co-Colorado Co line.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several family or community burial sites, including Schlopata Cem, Jokse Cem, and Millheim Cem. The land use is primarily agricultural, interspersed with numerous Gravel Pits and a network of pipelines. Notable elevation changes occur near Red Hill, while the overall drainage pattern flows toward the Crooked Branch and Constance Creek.
