2012 Map of Cave Creek School

About this map

Cave Creek School stands as a central landmark in this rural pocket of Gillespie County, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by generational family ranching. The terrain is marked by the winding courses of N Grape Cr and Cave Cr, which dictate the placement of ranch houses and rural lanes like Rheingold School Rd and Klein Ahrens Rd. Local history is anchored by family names on the land, including the Koennecke Ranch, Rusk Ranch, and Ahrens Ranch. Genealogists will find interest in the documented burial sites at Youngs Chapel Cem and Rode Cem. The presence of landmarks like Roundhead and the network of ranch roads reflects a modern continuation of traditional Texas Hill Country land use, where water sources like Dry Hollow Cr remain vital to the local economy and settlement pattern.
