1964 Map of Martindale

About this map

The San Marcos River snakes through the heart of this mid-1960s landscape, serving as a natural boundary between Caldwell Co and Guadalupe Co. The river's winding path dictates the placement of early agricultural settlements like Martindale, Staples, and Fentress, which are connected by a network of secondary roads and farm-to-market routes. The terrain is defined by the alluvial flats of the river valley and the dissecting drainages of Hemphill, Morrison, and Dickerson Creek.
