About this map

Kingsbury sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where the topography begins to roll toward the Guadalupe River valley. The map reveals a dense network of family and ranch roads, such as Williams Ranch Rd and Allison Ranch Rd, which connect various rural settlements and homesteads. The distribution of small family burial grounds, including Capote Baptist Cem, Thornton Cem, and Matthies Cem, underscores the deep genealogical roots of this part of Guadalupe County.

Hydrological features like Darst Cr and Mill Cr drain the terrain toward the south, carving out low-lying areas like Sandy Hollow. The inclusion of Lackorn Airport and various ranching landmarks suggests a mix of traditional agricultural land use and more modern rural infrastructure. This area, dominated by creek branches and subtle rises like Anderson Hill, maintains a distinctly rural character defined by longtime landholdings.
