About this map

McQueeney and its surrounding Guadalupe County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Guadalupe River, which widens significantly to form Lake McQueeney and Lake Placid. The residential development on Treasure Island and the presence of the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge reflect the area's mid-century shift toward water-based recreation and lakeside living. Transportation remains a primary structural element, with the corridor of Interstate 10 passing through Muehlsville and the older FM-78 connecting Hilda Siding to the established settlements.

Local genealogy and history are preserved through sites like Santa Tomas Cem and Boecker Cem, while smaller place names like Zipp, Nolte, and Santa Clara anchor the rural territory between the river and the northern agricultural fields. The drainage patterns of Youngs Cr, Deadman Cr, and Santa Clara Cr illustrate the natural topography that influenced early land use and settlement placement long before modern infrastructure arrived.
