1964 Map of Geronimo

About this map

Geronimo and the surrounding agricultural lands of Guadalupe County are defined by a network of drainage creeks and family landmarks in this mid-century survey. The landscape transitions from the elevated Harborth Hill and Mill Creek Hills toward the lower alluvial plains where Geronimo Creek and Alligator Creek converge. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous family burial sites, including Zorn Cem, Wade Cem, and Jechow Cem, alongside the San Juan Cem near the central settlement. Education and transit are anchored by the Navarro Sch and the Southern Pacific railroad line cutting through the southeast corner. The presence of several small reservoirs with specific spillway elevations suggests a landscape managed for water control and livestock, while the smaller community of Lauback and the recreational space at Silva Park mark the southern reach of the quadrangle.
