2022 Map of Quihi

About this map

New Fountain serves as a central hub in this part of Medina County, where the landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of the Hondo Cr and Quihi Cr. This area preserves a dense concentration of local genealogical sites, reflecting a heritage tied to early settlements and family homesteads. The map illustrates a rural network of county roads connecting numerous burial grounds, from church-affiliated sites like the Bethlehem Lutheran Cem and Saint Johns Lutheran Cem to smaller, private locations such as the Beiten Family Cem and Schweers Family Cem. The terrain features several significant drainages including Verde Cr, Hexa Cr, and Elm Cr, which weave through the agricultural and ranching lands. These watercourses and named locations like Haass Field indicate a long-standing reliance on the local creek system for settlement patterns and land use in this Texas region.
