About this map

The Guadalupe River carves a winding path through this Comal County landscape, documented by B.A. Jenkins just before the onset of the 1930s. The map illustrates a transitional state of surveying in the Texas hill country, with the southwestern corner meticulously rendered while a large portion remains labeled as a Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area. This distinction provides a rare look at the progress of mapping agencies like the State of Texas Board of Water Engineers during the era.

Small settlements like Sattler anchor the rural terrain, which is defined by a complex network of drainages including Mountain Creek, Bear Creek, and Little Bear Creek. The presence of Waco Spring and the deeply etched Cordova Hollow reflects the importance of water sources and natural topography in determining the settlement patterns of this region before modern development reshaped the river valley.
