About this map

Cherry Mountain and the surrounding Gillespie County highlands define this landscape, where family heritage is deeply etched into the geography through numerous private burial grounds. This 2010 survey records a high density of ancestral sites, including the Ahrens Cemeteries, Sagebiel-Keeše Cemetery, and Friedrich Cemetery, which sit alongside small settlements like Marschall Meusebach and Cherry Spring. The area's resource history is anchored by the Cherry Mountain Mine to the south, while the Tschirhart Ranch Airport serves the higher ground to the east.

A complex network of seasonal drainages, including Crabapple Creek, Bernst Creek, and Cherry Spring Creek, carves through the terrain between Cedar Mountain and the Sagebiel Hills. These waterways converge and divert around minor landmarks like Holly Pond and the small community of Hilltop, illustrating a rural Texas environment where settlement patterns are dictated by the rugged topography of the Hill Country.
