2010 Map of Fredericksburg West

About this map

The Fredericksburg Historic District anchors the southeastern corner of this study, reflecting the enduring layout of this German-founded Hill Country community. The landscape is defined by a dense network of waterways branching away from Fredericksburg, including the winding courses of Live Oak Creek and Barons Creek. These streams cut through a series of prominent elevations such as Schlaudt Hills, Hotopp Hills, and Schneider Hill, which shape the local ranching and residential patterns. Rural heritage is visible in the placement of the Schugh Cemetery to the north and the Saint Mary Cemetery near the town center. The presence of the Carter Ranch Stolport and the Douglass Lake Dam illustrates how modern aviation and water management have been integrated into this traditional agricultural and historic setting.
