About this map

The San Marcos River winds through the northeastern corner of this landscape, marking the boundary between Caldwell and Guadalupe counties. The terrain is defined by the Luling Hills and Mill Creek Hills, where numerous drainages like Brushy Creek and York Creek carve through the countryside. Settlement is concentrated around the community of Kingsbury to the south and Prairie Lea to the northeast, the latter featuring the Prairie Lea School and an Athletic Field.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Kingsbury Cem, Masonic Cem, and San Juan Cem. The area’s economic character is visible through the distribution of Oil Wells and a Gravel Pit near the river. Significant local landmarks such as Sweet Canaan Ch and the Roadside Park along the southern highway provide insight into the rural social and transportation infrastructure of the mid-twentieth century.
