1958 Map of New Braunfels East

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Guadalupe River snakes through the heart of this landscape, its waters impounded at Lake Dunlap by the Texas Power Company Dam 1. This late-1950s survey captures the eastern expansion of New Braunfels and the agricultural hamlets that once surrounded it, such as Gruene and Freiheit. Infrastructure of the era is prominent, featuring the Missouri Pacific railroad line and the expansive Clear Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field. Local history is preserved in the location of the Booker T Washington Sch and the Goodwin Sch, alongside community landmarks like Peace Ch and the Lone Oak Cem. The map provides a look at the rural transition before suburban development, noting small clusters like Schumannsville and the industrial presence of the Powerhouse near the river's bend.
