1963 Map of Sattler

About this map

Guadalupe River meanders sharply through this Comal County landscape, defined by the early 1960s development of the reservoir at Canyon Lake. The engineering of the day is visible at the Spillway and the Control Tower, while the river's original path is traced through several numbered bridges, including the Third Crossing BR 667 and First Crossing BR 653. Small community hubs like Sattler and Canyon City provide focal points for local history, supported by rural institutions such as the Church In The Valley and Mountain Valley Sch. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous named drainages including Dry Bear Creek, Jacobs Creek, and Elm Creek, which feed into the river valley. Notable landmarks such as Horseshoe Falls and Slumber Falls along the river's lower reaches highlight the area's transition into a destination for water-based activity during the mid-20th century.
