About this map

The eastern shores of Lake Buchanan meet the hill country of Burnet County in this 2019 survey, where residential developments like Sunset Ln and Council St contrast with the surrounding limestone heights. The landscape is defined by prominent peaks including Spider Mtn, Cedar Mtn, and the curiously named Johhny Grave Mtn. To the southeast, the outskirts of Burnet are visible, featuring landmarks such as Post Mountain Cem and Eagle Ridge.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several family-named burial grounds dotting the terrain, including Fry Cem, Brown Cem, and Jahn Cem. The map tracks the complex drainage systems feeding the Colorado River basin through deep canyons like Wolf Hollow and Rough Hollow. These rugged cuts in the topography, along with springs such as Fourmile Spring and Boiling Springs, illustrate the intricate hydrology of the Edwards Plateau's edge.
