About this map

Anderegg Cemetery stands as a focal point for local history in this portion of Gillespie County, situated in a landscape defined by its vital water sources and early ranching infrastructure. The network of drainage systems, including White Oak Creek, Salt Creek, and Bee Cave Creek, reveals a terrain where water management was essential. This is evidenced by the numerous named landmarks such as the Rock House Windmill, Bierschwale Windmill, and Rodgers Trap Windmill, which reflect a pattern of land use centered on livestock and sustainable water access in the Texas Hill Country.

Prominent topographic features like Steamboat Mountain and Hermans Point provide clear landmarks among the winding draws and hollows. The presence of the White Oak Creek Reservoir and the eponymous The Falls along Falls Prong highlights the importance of these seasonal and permanent water features to the local geography. This survey provides a clear view of the rural homesteads and named ranching points that have shaped the county's development into the early 21st century.
