1963 Map of Fischer

About this map

The Guadalupe River carves through the Texas Hill Country in this early 1960s survey, capturing the landscape during the filling of the Canyon Reservoir. The map illustrates the dramatic shift from a traditional riverine environment to a regulated lake system, with areas marked for controlled inundation surrounding the newly formed Potter Creek Park. Longstanding rural signatures like the Bremer Cem and the settlement of Fischer remain on higher ground, while the winding Demijohn Bend and Cordova Bend demonstrate the river's original serpentine path before the rising waters altered the topography.
