About this map

The Guadalupe River carves a deep valley through this Texas Hill Country landscape, anchoring the development of Kerrville and Ingram. By the early 1960s, the area showed a blend of established educational institutions and ranching heritage, featuring the Schreiner Institute and the expansive Lazy Hills Ranch. The map reveals the expansion of Kerrville's residential core toward Mt Wesley, while the riparian corridor remains defined by landmarks like Lake Ingram and numerous gravel pits.

Local history is well-preserved through numerous named sites, including Glen Rest Cem, Guadalupe Cem, and Nichols Cem. Institutional growth is evident in the cluster of schools such as Tivy High Sch and Starkey Sch, alongside the prominent State Hospital. The network of creeks, such as Goat Creek and Town Creek, illustrates the drainage patterns that shaped early settlement and road placement throughout the county.
