Georg A. Scherpf was a German mapmaker based in Texas. Not much is known about him, but he appears to have resided in Texas for several years during its state as an independent Republic. In 1840, he reportedly traveled with A.B. Lawrence from Houston to Austin, providing brief notes on critical heroes like Moses Austin and David Crockett. In 1845, after Scherpf had relocated to the East Coast, The Society for the Protection of German Emigrants to Texas noted that Scherpf had resided in independent Texas for many years before settling in New York.
