About this map

Doss serves as the primary landmark in this section of Gillespie County, where the Hill Country landscape is defined by a network of creek drainages including Mormon Creek, Indian Creek, and Nixon Creek. The area is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and high points such as Lehmann Mtn, Mund Hill, and Brockmann Point, reflecting a history of long-standing ranching and land ownership.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of private burial grounds throughout the terrain, including Langes Mill Cem, Welge Cem, and Evers Cem. The road network, with names like Nixon Cemetery Rd and Stehling-Hahn Rd, indicates the persistent rural structure of the region. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the modern topography while preserving the legacy of established family holdings and early settlements near the boundary between Mason and Gillespie counties.
