About this map

The boundary between Comal and Bexar counties cuts through this landscape of the Texas Hill Country, where family heritage is deeply etched into the terrain. Numerous family burial grounds, including the Schlather Cem, Weidner Cem, and Pena Cem, are scattered across the hills, often situated near historic homesteads and ranch roads. The spiritual life of the community centers on St Pauls Ch, while the physical geography is defined by the winding course of Cibolo Creek and its many seasonal tributaries like Mustang Creek and Meusebach Creek.

Notable natural landmarks such as Vogels Peak and Classen Hill rise above a network of springs that sustained early settlers, including Indian Springs and Cherry Spring. The map reveals a transition from traditional ranching to mid-century accessibility, shown by the establishment of a Roadside Park and the naming of local thoroughfares like Specht Road and Borgfeld Road. Local water sources like Elm Waterhole and the West Fork Elm Creek illustrate the vital importance of water management in this limestone-rich environment.
