About this map

Fredericksburg and its eastern surroundings are defined by a series of prominent topographic landmarks that shaped the early settlement of Gillespie County. The landscape is dotted with family-named elevations such as Kneese Hill, Schuetzen Hill, and Henke Hill, reflecting the German heritage of the region. Distinctive geological features like Balanced Rock on Bear Mountain and the overlook at Cross Mountain are captured alongside the town’s expansion toward Cedarhead.

Water remains a critical element of this terrain, with the headwaters of Barons Creek and Town Creek flowing through the community. To the north and east, several water sources and improvements are documented, including Marschall Spring, Billings Spring, and the Mathisen Lake Dam. The layout of Greenwood Cemetery and the surrounding network of local creeks like Palo Alto Creek and Kiehne Creek provide a detailed look at the rural-to-urban transition of this Hill Country community in the early 21st century.
