About this map

Peril Cem stands as a quiet reminder of early settlement patterns in this portion of the Texas Hill Country, situated near the headwaters of Spring Br. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including the eponymous Nott Branch and the winding White Oak Cr, which cut through the limestone landscape to form landmarks like Pillar Rock and the broad Johnson Bottom.

Modern aviation and water management have shaped the contemporary landscape, visible through the Silver Wings Airport and the development of the Tierra Linda Upper Reservoir. The county line between Gillespie and Kerr counties bisects the southern third of the map, a boundary that historical researchers can trace alongside the established path of the Harper Hwy. This survey provides a clear view of the transition from traditional ranching lands to residential airport communities and managed watersheds like Town Cr Reservoir Number 1.
