About this map

Fredericksburg and the surrounding Gillespie County hill country are documented during a period of steady local growth in the late 1960s. The town's grid is well-established, showing the Fairground, an Athletic Field, and the National Guard Armory. Cultural landmarks like St Mary Cem sit on the edge of the expanding residential area, while the rural landscape is defined by family-named terrain like Schlaudt Hills and Hotopp Hills.

The hydrography of the region is intricate, with numerous seasonal and permanent waterways like Pecan Creek and Honey Creek carving through the limestone terrain. Smaller, named locations such as Fred and Winfried are visible alongside specialized infrastructure like the Aqueduct and a Pipeline. Numerous Gravel Pits scattered across the map highlight the local quarrying industry that supported road construction such as Weinheimer Road and Tivydale Road.
