2022 Map of San Marcos South

About this map

The San Marcos corridor south into the Hill Country fringe reflects a landscape defined by significant hydrological features and scattered family history. The drainage of Purgatory Cr and Willow Springs Cr gives way to the broader flow of the San Marcos River as it reaches the Hays and Guadalupe County line. Modern water management is evident in the numerous reservoirs, such as John F Baugh Reservoir and the Soil Conservation Service Site 15 Reservoir, which dot the terrain alongside established settlements like Redwood and Zorn. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is exceptionally rich in burial sites, ranging from the Cheatham Cem near the river to more secluded family plots like the Braune Family Cem and Hector Family Cem. These sites, along with the Hays County Government Center, provide a clear view of the institutional and familial foundations of this Central Texas region.
