1963 Map of Sattler

About this map

Guadalupe River waters wind through a landscape undergoing significant hydrologic change, dominated by the newly formed Canyon Lake and its massive dam infrastructure. The tiny settlements of Canyon City and Sattler serve as local hubs in this Texas Hill Country terrain, where the river descends through a series of dramatic bends. Notable river crossings, such as the Fourth Crossing Br 720 and First Crossing Br 653, highlight the importance of river access before the modern bridge network was fully established. Local social life is anchored by the Mountain Valley Sch and the Church in the Valley. The map also captures natural landmarks like Slumber Falls and Horseshoe Falls, as well as several family-named drainage features including Heiser Hollow and Cordova Hollow.
