2019 Map of Cherry Mountain

About this map

Cherry Mtn and the surrounding Hill Country uplands define this area of Gillespie County, where the landscape is marked by a high density of family cemeteries and ancestral ranch lands. The map reveals a deeply rooted settlement pattern evidenced by sites like the Marschall Meusebach Cem, Schneider Cem, and Sagebiel-Keese Cem. Water sources such as Cherry Spring and Holly Pond have long supported local agriculture, while the drainage of Crabapple Cr and Sandy Cr carves through the local topography. Modern infrastructure like the Tschirhart Ranch Airport and various ranch-to-market routes intersect with older land divisions along the boundaries of Mason and Llano counties. This 2019 survey provides a precise look at a region where private ranching traditions and genealogy remain central to the landscape.
