1967 Map of Fredericksburg East

About this map

The street grid of Fredericksburg anchor the southwestern portion of this Gillespie County landscape, where the town's growth is framed by local landmarks like Cross Mtn and the family-named burial grounds at City Cem and Greenwood Cem. Beyond the city limits, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hills and watercourses, including the Kordzik Hills and the prominent Balanced Rock. Numerous small summits reflect early settler families, such as Kneese Hill, Henke Hill, and Schuessler Hill. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Palo Alto Creek and Marschall Creek winding through the valley floors alongside the Aqueduct and various local Gravel Pits. To the north, the Eighteen Ranch Landing Strip and Roos Falls represent the rural reaches of the county during the late 1960s.
