USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
The Guadalupe River winds through this rugged Hill Country landscape, anchoring the settlements of Comfort and Waring during the mid-1950s. This survey, reprinted from military records by the U.S. Geological Survey, reveals a community built on recreation, healthcare, and education. Notable institutions such as the Comfort Sanitarium, Hermann Sons Home, and the Girl Scouts Camp are clearly marked alongside the San Antonio and Aransas Pass RR. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Spanish Pass and Turkey Knob, while the rural education system is evidenced by the Nichols Ranch School and Holiday School. Transportation revolves around the Old Spanish Trail Highway No 27, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure of Kendall County before modern expansion.
