About this map

Small rural settlements and agricultural interests dominate this mid-1960s landscape near the Hays Co Comal Co boundary. The small community of Hunter serves as a focal point, situated at the junction of the Missouri Kansas Texas and Missouri Pacific railroads. The topography transitions from the lower elevations near the Guadalupe River to notable rises like Bading Hill and Trunk Hill, illustrating the character of the Texas Hill Country transition.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites, including Rosenthal Cem, York Creek Cem, and Kellermann Cem. Land use is defined by established holdings such as the Circle Dot Ranch and Wegner Ranch, alongside water features like Alligator Creek and Isaac Creek. The presence of a Quarry and a Radio Tower (KLRN) suggests the creeping industrial and technological influence on this traditionally agrarian region.
