1964 Map of Anhalt

About this map

The Anhalt community, centered around the landmark Farmers Hall, defines this 1964 portrait of Comal and Kendall counties. The landscape is heavily marked by German family heritage, evidenced by a dense network of private burial grounds including Kabelmacher Cem, Scheel Cem, and Krause Cem. The rugged limestone topography rises toward Devils Hill, with numerous gravel pits scattered throughout the drainage basins of Swine Creek and Honey Creek. To the south, the Bulverde Sch and Bulverde Community Center serve as anchors for the local rural population. The northern portion of the map follows the winding course of the Guadalupe River, where the confluence of Spring Branch and Cypress Creek creates a complex system of riparian draws. This survey captures a specific mid-century Texas Hill Country era before significant suburban development reached these family-held ranching and farming lands.
