About this map

The Guadalupe River serves as the central artery for this Hill Country landscape, where the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork at Hunt creates a hub for summer recreation and ranching. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a high concentration of youth camps and retreats established along the riverbanks, including Camp Scenic, Camp Stewart, Camp La Junta, and Camp Rio Vista. These sites, along with the San Antonio Camp and Camp Arrowhead, underscore the region's development as a premier destination for seasonal residency and outdoor education.

Away from the water, the map documents a network of family-owned holdings such as the Dominguez Ranch, Moore Ranch, and Lazy Hills Ranch. Local history is anchored by the Hunt Cem and Baldwin Cem, while small settlements like Waltonia and the presence of a Landing Strip suggest the growing accessibility of these remote valleys. The eastern edge reveals the engineering of New Lake Ingram, complete with a labeled spillway, reflecting mid-century water management efforts in the Guadalupe basin.
