About this map

The Guadalupe River serves as the central artery for this portion of the Texas Hill Country, anchoring the development of Kerrville and Ingram. By the early 1960s, the urban footprint of Kerrville was expanding northward, notably around Mt Wesley and the Schreiner Institute. The map captures a moment when institutional and community landmarks like the State Hospital and Tivy High Sch were established features of the landscape.

Beyond the town centers, the terrain is defined by numerous drainage systems such as Nichols Creek and Camp Meeting Creek. Local history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Nichols Cem and Guadalupe Cem. The presence of Old Lake Ingram and the sprawling Kerrville State Park highlight the importance of the river for both local industry and recreation during this period of mid-century growth.
