The Haynie Flat community was a sparsely populated settlement established in the 1800s near Red Bluff Creek and the Colorado River along the Burnet-Travis county line. The earliest graves in Haynie Flat Cemetery are for siblings, Sallie A. Cox (age 18) and Dennis Cox (age 7), who died four months apart in 1864. Although these burials indicate some degree of occupation in the 1860s, the land is considered to have been settled in 1879, the same year Haynie Flat School opened. The schoolhouse was adjacent to the cemetery, and the attendance area covered parts of Burnet and Travis counties. Maps and land records document no formal claim on the Haynie Flat community from Burnet County's creation in the 1850s until W.W. Burton patented a 160-acre survey with the General Land Office in 1897. An affidavit described Haynie Flat as beginning "at Turner Crossing on the Pedernales River and running northwest along the road." An April 1939 deed from the heirs of William ("Willie") Naumann to B.R. Carpenter is the first to explicitly mention the cemetery, with a conveyance "save and except two acres heretofore deeded to trustees of Haynie Flat School and three acres hereby reserved for a cemetery known as the Haynie Flat Cemetery." Landscape features include native cedar and live oak trees and primarily granite and marble grave markers. Haynie Flat School consolidated with Spicewood in 1950, and the school building continued to be used as a community gathering place and as an election polling place into the 1970s. Residential development of the area in the 1980s left the cemetery as one of the few reminders of the Haynie Flat community. Historic Texas Cemetery - 2018.
