About this map

Dripping Springs serves as the focal point of this Hays County landscape, where the Balcones Escarpment's influence is evident in the dense network of drainage systems including Onion Creek and Barton Creek. The map preserves significant cultural heritage sites, most notably the Doctor Joseph M and Sarah Pound Farmstead, reflecting the area's mid-19th-century pioneer roots.

To the north, the small settlement of Fitzhugh and its associated Fitzhugh Cemetery anchor the upper reaches of Fitzhugh Creek. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the recreation and gathering grounds at Camp Ben McCulloch along the banks of Onion Creek. The terrain is deeply incised by named draws such as Hog Hollow and Schoolhouse Hollow, which feed into the primary creek systems that eventually supply the region's aquifers. Local genealogy is further supported by the presence of the Wallace Mountain Cemetery and Phillips Cemetery.
