1967 Map of Cherry Spring

About this map

The boundary of Mason Co and Gillespie Co divides this Texas Hill Country landscape, dominated by a complex network of waterways including Onion Creek, Threadgill Creek, and the winding Squaw Creek. The settlement of Cherry Spring serves as a local hub near the northeast corner, while Doss appears at the western edge. This 1967 survey reveals a deeply rooted rural community, marked by family-named landmarks like Brockmann Point, Lehmann Mountain, and Mund Hill. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial sites and houses of worship scattered throughout the terrain, including Lange Cem, Welge Cem, Evers Cem, and the Squaw Creek Ch. The presence of the Welge Ranch Landing Strip and the Neyland Mine indicates the varied ranching and industrial activities of the late 1960s, while the Community Center on Squaw Creek points to the social heart of the area.
