About this map

The Guadalupe River snakes through the heart of this mid-century Texas landscape, defining the layout of Seguin and its industrial and recreational infrastructure. The river's path is managed by the Nolte Dam, which creates Meadow Lake to the south, while the Power Plant and Filtration Plant emphasize the waterway's role in local utility. The urban center is densely developed around the Courthouse and Bauer Park, with the Southern Pacific railroad cutting a clear east-west line through the northern neighborhoods.

Institutional growth is evident in the sprawling grounds of Texas Lutheran College and numerous local schools like Juan Seguin Sch and St James Sch. To the east, the Seguin Auxiliary Airfield occupies a significant tract of land, marked by its Military Reservation Boundary. The surrounding countryside is dotted with family-history landmarks, including the San Geronimo Cem and several rural churches like the Canaan View Church, illustrating the transition from town center to Guadalupe County's agricultural periphery.
