About this map

Small rural communities and family-named homesteads define this central Texas landscape south of Austin. Established settlements like Creedmoor and Niederwald are connected by a network of farm-to-market style roads, including Old Lockhart Road and Maha Road. The topography is marked by several seasonal drainages, most notably Maha Creek and Cedar Creek, which carved the undulating terrain long before modern development.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local landmarks, such as San Francisco Ch and the Creedmoor Cem. The map highlights the intersection of three counties — Travis, Hays, and Caldwell — illustrating how rural borders influenced local governance and community ties. Features like Center Union Ch and Guadalupe Cem serve as focal points for the smaller hamlets of Elroy, Carl, and Mendoza during the late 1960s.
