About this map

The New Braunfels area in the late 1920s is defined by a dense intersection of industrial enterprise and central Texas river systems. The Guadalupe River and Comal R anchor the landscape, while the presence of the Lime Works and a Brick Plant near McQueeney signal the era's local manufacturing base. The map reveals an intricate network of rural education and community centers, from the Guadalupe College in the southeast to numerous country schools like Thornhill School and Schaffel School.
