About this map

The community of Hunter serves as a focal point for this landscape along the Comal and Hays county line, where the local economy and movement were defined by the parallel tracks of the Missouri Kansas Texas and Missouri Pacific railroads. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Rosenthal Cem, York Creek Cem, and Kellermann Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this rural corridor.

Topographically, the area is marked by a series of drainage systems such as Isaac Creek, York Creek, and Alligator Creek that carve through the limestone terrain. Distinctive landmarks like Big Mouth Cave and high points such as Coal Kiln Hill and Trunk Hill suggest a rugged landscape once used for ranching and local resource extraction, evidenced by the Wegner Ranch and a Quarry located near the rail lines.
