About this map

The settlement of Loyal Valley stands as a focal point in this portion of Mason County, where the Texas Hill Country terrain is defined by significant elevations like Meusebach Ridge and Loyal Mtn. For genealogists, the map is a vital resource, documenting the Loyal Valley Cem, the Hilda Methodist Cem near the community of Hilda, and the more secluded Ellerbracht Cem.

A complex network of drainages, including Threadgill Creek, Beaver Creek, and Cold Spring Creek, carves through the landscape, creating distinct geological features such as Deep Hollow and Cedar Hollow. The road system, from the primary corridor of Ranch Rd 783 to family-named routes like Langehennig-Friedrich Rd and Kothmann Creek Rd, illustrates the persistent ranching and rural residential patterns of this Central Texas region.
