About this map

The community of Hunter sits at the junction of the Missouri Pacific and Missouri - Kansas - Texas railroads, marking a landscape defined by ranching and transit. Large landholdings like the Wegner Ranch and Circle Dot Ranch dominate the higher ground, while the southern reaches are crisscrossed by a network of creeks including York Creek and Alligator Creek. This 1964 survey captures the rural character of the area before the expansion of the nearby corridor, preserving the locations of numerous small family burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy sites such as Rosenthal Cem, Conrads Cem, and Kellermann Cem. These scattered landmarks, along with features like Haley Tank and the Guadalupe River in the southwest corner, provide a clear view of the regional hydrology and settlement patterns during the mid-20th century. The presence of a Quarry and a Radio Tower (KLRN) indicate the modest industrial and infrastructure developments of the era.
