About this map

Kendalia sits as a central hub in this mid-1960s Texas Hill Country landscape, surrounded by a complex network of seasonal creeks and limestone features. The Guadalupe River snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle, punctuated by Obelby Crossing and significant hydrological markers like Big Spring and Edge Falls Spring. The terrain is characterized by numerous named canyons such as Coyote Canyon and Carlisle Canyon, alongside the subterranean interest of Century Caverns.

Family history is well-preserved through several small burial grounds scattered across the ranchlands, including Knupper Cemetery, Jones Cem, and Edge Cem. The appearance of a Landing Strip and various gravel pits suggests a mid-century period of local infrastructure development and resource extraction. Significant elevations like Round Mtn provide context for the drainage patterns of Curry Creek and Krause Creek.
