About this map

Boerne is the central hub of this mid-1960s Texas Hill Country landscape, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the winding course of Cibolo Creek. The town's local civic life is evident in features like the Jr High Sch, Herff Park Fairground, and the Sewage Disposal plant, reflecting the infrastructure of a growing community. The surrounding terrain is marked by distinctive family-named elevations like Phillips Hill and Malikoff Hill, as well as several rural settlements including Walnut Grove and Kreutzberg.

Resource extraction and natural landmarks define the outlying areas, with numerous Gravel Pits and Quarries scattered across the limestone-rich hills. A notable destination in the southern reaches is Cascade Cavern, a significant subterranean feature reached via Cascade Road. Genealogists will find value in rural markers like the Phillips Cem and the Historical Marker located near Smith Hill, while the network of named roads like Currey Road and Johns Road preserves the footprint of mid-century property boundaries.
