2012 Map of Fly Gap

About this map

Fly Gap anchors this section of the Texas Hill Country, situated in a landscape defined by significant elevations and seasonal watercourses. The local terrain is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Man Mtn, Tom Green Mtn, and the distinctive Lime Peak, while Spiller Hollow and Eckert Roughs suggest the varied topography of the region. A network of rural roads, including Spillar Mine Rd and Union School Rd, hints at the area's history of mining and rural education. Genealogists will find the area's history preserved through several family and community burial grounds, specifically Fly Gap Cem, Leifeste Cem, and the Kothmann Cem. Numerous creeks, including Twelvemile Cr and Martin Cr, drain the region, supporting the ranching operations that have long characterized Mason County life.
