Cypress Mill Ghost Town Pioneer Cache — Blanco County

Cypress Mill is a former mill community in eastern Blanco County on Cypress Creek, which flows toward the Pedernales and Colorado drainages near the Travis County border. Early Blanco County settlements clustered along wooded streams while Comanche and Lipan Apache bands still claimed the Hill Country frontier. Mill-site and ghost-town cache tales appear throughout Central Texas guidebooks wherever nineteenth-century gristmills and cotton gins handled merchant specie. Cypress Mill lies east of Johnson City toward the Austin Hill Country. Coordinates approximate Cypress Mill in eastern Blanco County.
