About this map

New Fountain and Quihi anchor this section of Medina County, where a intricate network of county roads like Co RD 352 and Co RD 445 connect scattered rural residences and family landmarks. The landscape is defined by the drainages of numerous seasonal waterways, most notably Verde Creek in the west and Elm Creek in the east, which eventually converge toward Hondo Creek at the southern boundary.

For those researching regional genealogy, the map identifies several significant burial sites, including Britsch Cemetery, Decker Cemetery, and Saint Johns Cemetery. These locations, along with the Quihi Cemetery near the community of Quihi, provide essential geographic context for early German-Texan settlements in the area. The prevalence of named water features like Polecat Creek and Cherry Creek suggests a terrain historically shaped by ranching and small-scale agriculture near the Balcones Escarpment transition.
