About this map

Cranfills Gap serves as the central hub of this Central Texas landscape, where the town site is sheltered by the elevated terrain of Cranfills Mtn and Rattlesnake Mtn. The 2012 survey illustrates a region deeply connected to its agricultural and heritage roots, notably through the Upper Settlement Rural Historic District and multiple legacy family properties like the John Pederson Farm and the Tom and Martha Rogstad Farm.

Waterways like Mustang Cr and the various prongs of Meridian Cr define the drainage patterns between prominent peaks such as Spencer Mtn and Number Six Mtn. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Kidd Thompson Cem, Cranfills Cem, and the Luth Cem. The transportation network is a mix of state routes like FM-219 and local paths such as Goer Valley Rd, connecting remote homesteads and private landing strips like Parrish Airstrip.
