About this map

The settlement of Crabapple serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated at a junction where Crabapple Cr meets several local ranching roads. Family heritage is deeply etched into the geography through numerous small burial grounds, including the Welgehausen Cem, Schmidt Cem, and Saint John Cem. These sites, along with family-named thoroughfares like Walter Welgehausen Rd and Hohmann Rd, reflect the generational landholdings of the region.

Hydrology dictates the layout of the terrain, with Landrum Cr, Metzger Cr, and Polander Cr cutting through the countryside. The presence of Indian Spring and Rock Pasture Spring highlights the importance of natural water sources in this environment. To the south and west, the map records industrial and agricultural access via Gypsum Mine Rd and Ranch Road 965, illustrating how local industry and transit have adapted to the winding creek beds and spring-fed valleys.
