About this map

Bergheim serves as the primary settlement hub in this Hill Country landscape, situated amid a network of seasonal drainages and limestone ranchland during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Cibolo Creek along the southern boundary, where the map indicates areas subject to controlled inundation near the military reservation. Local hydrology is further detailed by the branching tributaries of Honey Creek, Panther Creek, and Swede Creek, which carve through the undulating topography.

The presence of numerous gravel pits and quarries near Black Creek reflects the local extractive industry of the era, while named water features like Walter Creek and Kelly Creek provide essential landmarks for tracing historical property lines and traditional land use. This 1964 survey, with its 1973 revisions, documents a rural Texas community before the significant suburban expansion of the late 20th century.
