New Braunfels anchors this study of the Hill Country's eastern edge, where residential expansion meets established ranching and industrial operations. The map documents the city's growth into Landa Park Highlands and Jentsch Acres, contrasted with the smaller outlying communities of Solms, Corbyn, and Comal. To the north, the landscape is defined by the Soil Conservation Service Site 3 Reservoir and private estates like the Krueger Ranch and Mission Valley Guest Ranch. A significant industrial footprint is visible at Dittlinger, while the hydrology of the region is centered on the Comal River and the winding course of Dry Comal Creek. This era of development is marked by the complex road network branching from State Loop 337 and the presence of local aviation hubs like Fox Airport and Hilltop Ranch Airport.
