About this map

Kingsbury sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape, positioned along the Southern Pacific railroad line. The map captures the rural character of the Caldwell Co and Guadalupe Co boundary, where the San Marcos River winds through the northeast corner past Prairie Lea. The terrain transitions from the elevations of the Mill Creek Hills in the west to the alluvial plains drained by York Creek and Nash Creek.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community landmarks, including the Sweet Canaan Ch and a network of burial sites such as Kingsbury Cem, Hepple Cem, and Appling Cem. The presence of the High Sch and Athletic Field in Prairie Lea indicates the local educational hub of the era, while the scattered settlement at Weinert reflects the persistent agricultural footprint of central Texas.
