2022 Map of Doss

About this map

Doss anchors this portion of the Texas Hill Country near the Mason and Gillespie county line. The landscape is defined by a dense network of water sources and narrow valleys, including the perennial flow of Threadgill Creek and Onion Creek. Numerous family-named landmarks suggest a deep history of local settlement, with sites like Lange Springs, Kentner Spring, and Bierschwale Spring providing critical water in this terrain. Local genealogy is well-represented through several burial grounds, most notably the Saint Peter Lutheran Church Cem and the Kensing Cemetery. The topography is marked by named drainages such as Schoolhouse Hollow and Hartmann Hollow, which cut through the limestone uplands below Swayback Mountain.
