About this map

Garden Ridge and the outlying settlement of Ogden anchor this landscape during a period of transition, where suburban growth meets the rural heritage of Comal and Bexar Counties. The terrain is defined by the branching waterways of Cibolo Cr and the Dry Comal Cr, alongside several engineered reservoirs such as Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Reservoir.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including Hillert Cem, Kunkel Cem, and Wellbacher Cem. These small cemeteries, often associated with early ranching tracts, sit adjacent to modern infrastructure like Bat Cave Field Airport and the corridor of Natural Bridge Caverns Rd. The map documents a landscape where traditional family homesteads remain visible through named landmarks even as residential loops and cul-de-sacs expand across the creek valleys.
