About this map

The Guadalupe River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating a recreational and industrial corridor anchored by Lake Mc Queeney and Lake Placid. By the mid-1950s, the area had developed into a leisure destination, evidenced by the Lake Breeze Ski Lodge and the residential layout of Treasure Island. These modern developments contrast with the older agricultural and transit roots of the region, where the Southern Pacific railroad served rural stops like Hilda Siding.

Local history is preserved in small communities such as Zipp, Nolte, and Santa Clara, where the Santa Clara Ch and Boecker Cem provide genealogical touchstones. The presence of the Seguin Airport and the Powerhouse Substation reflects the post-war infrastructure growth supporting these riverside settlements. Numerous seasonal drainages, including Deadman Creek and Buzzard Creek, score the surrounding terrain, marking the transition from upland farms to the river valley.
