1964 Map of Hunter

About this map

Hunter and the neighboring settlement of New Hills occupy a landscape shaped by the Missouri Pacific railroad and a network of ephemeral creeks in the Texas Hill Country. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society anchored by family-named landmarks and several historic burial grounds, including the Rosenthal Cem, Kellermann Cem, and Conrads Cem. The terrain rises toward distinctive peaks like Coat Kiln Hill and Trunk Hill, while the lower elevations are marked by the Guadalupe River and numerous limestone-region features such as Big Mouth Cave. Development is sparse, concentrated near roads like Hoffmann Lane and Purgatory Road, reflecting an era of ranching and early quarrying before significant suburban expansion reached the Comal and Hays county lines.
