1964 Map of San Marcos South

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

San Marcos River flows through the northern reaches of this mid-1960s landscape, just south of the main city center where the State Fish Hatchery and Municipal Airport are established. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems, including Purgatory Creek, Cottonwood Creek, and York Creek, which cut through the limestone and clay of the central Texas corridor. Settlement patterns here are deeply rooted in the agricultural history of Hays and Guadalupe counties, anchored by the small communities of Centerpoint and Zorn. A significant infrastructure network of rail and road connects these rural outposts, most notably the dual lines of the Missouri Pacific Texas and Pacific and the Missouri Kansas Texas railroads. Genealogists will find particular value in the dispersed burial grounds such as Pitts Cem, San Pedro Cem, and Bading Cem, which mark the early homesteads and community hubs of this rural expanse.
