2016 Map of Dripping Springs

About this map

Dripping Springs serves as the central hub of this 2016 survey, showcasing a landscape where the expanding Hill Country residential footprint meets deep-seated Texas ranching history. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Onion Cr and Barton Cr, with numerous seasonal drainages like Jackson Br and Cottonwood Br carving through the limestone plateaus. Local genealogy and history are preserved at sites like the Fitzhugh Cem near the northern settlement of Fitzhugh, and the Phillips Cem located in the shadow of Turkey Hollow. The map traces the corridor of US Hwy 290 and its predecessor, Old Hwy 290, reflecting the area's evolution from a collection of rural homesteads around Walnut Spring to a growing suburban community. Significant natural landmarks, including Wallace Mountain Cem and Hog Hollow, anchor the landscape south toward Driftwood.
