About this map

Fredericksburg anchor's the southeastern corner of this Gillespie County landscape, where the town's street grid meets the winding drainage of Barons Cr. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Schlaudt Hills, Hotopp Hills, and Schneider Hill, which rise above the many tributaries feeding into the larger creek systems. Water is a constant theme across the quadrangle, with numerous small waterways like Honey Cr, Moccasin Cr, and Palo Alto Cr carving the Hill Country surface.

Local history and genealogy are well-preserved through markers such as Saint Mary Cem and the more remote Schugh Cem to the north. Transportation and ranching infrastructure are evident in features like the Carter Ranch Airport and a network of roads with names that reflect the area's heritage, such as Eichen Strasse and Zeder Strasse. Natural water sources like Guenther Spring further illustrate the essential relationship between the land's hydrology and its settlement patterns.
