About this map

Kendalia serves as a focal point in this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Blanco River and its numerous tributaries. Settled within a complex network of drainages like Crabapple Creek and Curry Creek, the area shows a distinct rural organization at the start of the 1960s. The presence of the Lindendale Community Hall and the settlement of Flugrath suggest localized social and agricultural hubs connected by a system of rural roads and cattle fences.

Terrain features such as Barker Hollow, Sleepy Hollow, and Hog Hollow underscore the deeply dissected nature of the plateau, while a solitary Gravel Pit near the river indicates small-scale local resource extraction. The map also records an Indefinite Boundary and the division between Blanco and Kendall Counties, providing a detailed look at the jurisdictional and topographic boundaries before modern development expanded through the region.
