About this map

The Blanco River and San Marcos River anchor this mid-century survey of the corridor between the growing city of San Marcos and the town of Kyle. The map captures a period of institutional and educational expansion, featuring the campus of Southwest Texas State University and the San Marcos Baptist Academy. Cultural and genealogical history is well-preserved through several landmarks, including the San Marcos Cem, Kyle Cem, and the Guadalupe Cem near the Hays and Caldwell county line.

Industrial and recreational patterns are visible in the numerous Gravel Pits dotting the riverbanks and the established Missouri Pacific railroad line. Topographical details such as the limestone-driven hydrology of Sink Creek and Purgatory Creek meet man-made developments like the San Marcos Treatment Center and Fivemile Dam Park. The inclusion of various cemeteries and school sites like Travis Sch makes this an essential document for family history and land-use research in this part of Texas.
