About this map

The Guadalupe River carves a deep, winding path through the heart of this Kendall County landscape, which was updated in 1982 to reflect shifts in land use through purple-ink revisions. At the center of the community stands Kendalia, a small settlement positioned near the headwaters of Curry Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named breaks like Coyote Canyon and Thornton Canyon, which feed into the river valley.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, including several family-named burial sites such as Knupper Cemetery, Short Cem, and Jones Cem. The presence of Century Caverns and Edge Falls highlights the distinctive karst topography of the Texas Hill Country, while locations like Oberly Crossing indicate historical transit points along the river before modern infrastructure bypassed these traditional fords.
