About this map

Ahrens Cemeteries and a dense network of family burial grounds characterize this portion of Gillespie County, reflecting generations of rural settlement in the Texas Hill Country. The landscape is defined by elevated features like Cedar Mtn and the Sagebiel Hills, while numerous creeks including Crabapple Cr and Sandy Cr drain the territory. Small communities such as Hilltop and Marschall Meusebach are connected by a web of local roads named for early resident families, such as Kothe Rd and Keese Rd. The presence of the Tschirhart Ranch Airport and specialized routes like Gypsum Mine Rd provide evidence of the local ranching and industrial activity. This survey captures a rural landscape where private family history is etched into the geography through landmarks like Sagebiel Keese Cem and Dittmar Cem.
