2012 Map of Fredericksburg West

About this map

The Fredericksburg Historic District serves as the focal point for this survey of the Texas Hill Country, documenting the western extent of this culturally significant community. The landscape is defined by its transition from the town grid to the surrounding uplands, featuring prominent rises such as Schneider Hill and the Schlaudt Hills. Numerous watercourses, including Barons Cr and Live Oak Cr, navigate the terrain, with historical crossings such as Barons Creek Xing noted on the map. For genealogists, the presence of the Saint Mary Cem and the more remote Schugh Cem offer specific locations for family research. The map also captures specialized land uses in the area, from the Carter Ranch Airport to reliable water sources like Guenther Spring, illustrating the blend of residential, agricultural, and aviation infrastructure in Gillespie County during the early 21st century.
