About this map

Bertram anchors the southern portion of this Hill Country landscape, where the rural character of Burnet County is defined by a network of ranch roads and limestone-bedded waterways. The terrain is deeply etched by the drainage systems of the N Fork San Gabriel River and the Russell Fork San Gabriel River, which converge amidst a series of prominent draws like Stone Quarry Hollow and Postoak Hollow. Genealogists will find several well-preserved historical sites, including Strickling Cem, Shady Grove Cem, and Bear Creek Cem, situated along the winding secondary roads that crisscross the forks of the river. Aviation is a notable presence in this rural expanse, marked by small private landing strips such as Flattop Ridge Airport, Griffin Airport, and Skotz Airfield, reflecting the area's transition towards modern rural estates like Ater Ranch Est.
