About this map

The San Marcos River snakes through this Central Texas landscape, defining the boundaries where Caldwell, Guadalupe, and Gonzales counties meet. In the city of Luling, a dense grid of streets like Magnolia Avenue and Bowie Street spreads north of the river, while the surrounding countryside is dotted with legacy burial grounds including Highsmith Cemeteries, Appling Cem, and Marines Cem. This geography reveals a long history of rural settlement, evidenced by the clustered homes at Stairtown and the various cattle and ranch roads like Rawhide Ln and Oaks Ranch Rd.

Water management is central to the area's development, seen in the Soil Conservation Service Site 38 Reservoir and the drainage systems of Highsmith Cr and Seals Cr. Aviation interests are represented by The Carter Memorial Airport, situated near the confluence of local routes like FM 2984. The map captures a transition from the urban center of Luling to the managed ranchlands and riparian corridors of the river valley.
