1964 Map of Bergheim

About this map

Bergheim serves as a central point of settlement in this Hill Country landscape, where the convergence of Kendall and Comal counties meets the northern reaches of the Leon Springs Military Reservation. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages including Honey Creek and Swede Creek, which carve through the limestone topography toward Cibolo Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family and community burial grounds documented here, such as Bergheim Cem, Kruckemeyer Cem, and Saur Cem. The mid-1960s era shows a transition toward modern rural development with the appearance of Canyon View Acres and a Landing Strip, even as older land use patterns remain visible through scattered quarries and gravel pits along the creek beds of Pleasant Valley.
