About this map

The Guadalupe River carves through this Hill Country landscape, anchoring the development of Kerrville and the neighboring community of Legion. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of creek drainages, including Quinlan Cr, Second Cr, and Third Cr, which feed into the primary river valley. This 2022 survey details a complex topography where named heights like Tivy Mtn and Ravenhead overlook deep cuts such as Wade Hollow and the narrow Wein-Schlucht.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of local burial sites, from the prominent Kerrville National Cem near the river to smaller family or community grounds like Hollimon Cem, Brown Cem, and Tivy Cem. The settlement pattern reflects the transition from established town centers to outlying areas like Lazy Valley, connected by a web of rural roads and residential lanes that follow the natural contours of the limestone ridges.
