About this map

The San Marcos River snakes through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining the border between Caldwell Co and Guadalupe Co. The river's tight, meandering oxbows are flanked by high points like Adams Bluff and a series of agricultural and small residential clusters. The settlement of Martindale serves as a focal point near the northern bend, while Staples and Fentress anchor the southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Genealogists and local historians will find an exceptional density of burial sites across these river plains, including the Martindale Cem, Kennedy Cem, and Tuttle Cem. The land is heavily intersected by smaller drainage systems such as Morrison Cr and Dickerson Cr, which feed into the primary river channel. Aviation history is noted by the presence of Fentress Airpark, while water management is evident in features like the Soil Conservation Service Site 34 Reservoir and Langford Lake.
