1964 Map of Comfort

About this map

Comfort serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, situated at the confluence of Cypress Creek and the Guadalupe River. The settlement pattern reflects a reliance on the Southern Pacific rail line and a network of watercourses that divide the terrain into distinct bluffs and peaks. Local history is deeply embedded in the landscape through features like the Hermann Sons Cem and San Jose Cem, while the presence of a Rodeo Ground and Landing Strip near the town center indicates a mix of traditional ranching culture and modernizing infrastructure. To the northwest, the map documents the smaller locality of Wolkenburg, set against a backdrop of prominent heights such as Target Hill and Gaddis Bluff. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the intricate drainage systems of Bruins Creek and Holliday Creek, showcasing the transition from river valley to the limestone hills of the Texas Hill Country.
