About this map

The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor anchors this survey of central Texas, tracing a path through the settlement of Hunter and the rolling terrain between the San Marcos and New Braunfels corporate boundaries. The landscape is a network of family and community history, evidenced by several small burial grounds including Rosenthal Cem, York Creek Cem, and Kellermann Cem. These sites, along with the Circle Dot Ranch, reflect a rural Texas economy transitioning from traditional ranching to mid-century industrial utility.

Water management is prominent along York Creek, which features a system of quarries and spillways, including Spillway Elev 735 and Spillway Elev 713. A distinctive Conveyor line near the creek suggests active mining or materials handling in the area. The geography is defined by prominent rises such as Trunk Hill and the Nan Hills, while the Guadalupe River brushes the southwestern corner, marking the lower limits of this rugged limestone-cut terrain.
