About this map

Van Raub and the adjacent community of Scenic Oaks sit at the northern edge of the San Antonio metropolitan area, where the suburban landscape meets the Texas Hill Country. This 2019 survey documents the expansion of residential developments like Fair Oaks Ranch alongside older markers of the region's history. Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites, including the Charles Cole Cem, the Cole - Hugman Cem, and the Robles Cem near the Kremkau Divide.

The area is defined by its drainage into the Leon Creek and Balcones Creek systems, with the historic Boerne Stage Field serving as a prominent landmark. High points like Round Hill and McFarland Hill break the terrain, while the Scenic Loop Rd and Old Fredericksburg Rd follow established corridors through the hills. The map also identifies water features like White Company Lake and Lakeside Acres Club Lake, illustrating the blend of private ranching legacies and newer recreational communities.
