1964 Map of Anhalt

About this map

The Guadalupe River carves through the northern reaches of this Hill Country landscape, joined by numerous seasonal drainages like Honey Creek and Swine Creek. German heritage is visible in the dense concentration of family cemeteries and community sites scattered across the terrain, including the Kabelmacher Cem, Scheel Cem, and Koch Cem. The settlement of Anhalt is a central focal point, while the southern edge of the sheet shows the early development of the Bulverde Community Center and the Bulverde Sch. Numerous gravel pits and quarries along the river and Hanz Creek point to the local importance of resource extraction during the mid-1960s. High points like Devils Hill offer a sense of the undulating topography that defined the rural character of Comal County before the expansion of nearby urban centers.
