About this map

The Guadalupe River snakes through the heart of the Texas Hill Country in this 1920s survey, defining a landscape of dramatic river bends and limestone breaks before the mid-century creation of Canyon Lake. Along the river’s winding course, notable water features like Demijohn Bend and Cordova Bend appear alongside Knot Falls and Rauch Falls, marking a time when the river flowed freely through the valley. Small rural settlements and gathering points such as Fischer Store, Spring Branch, and Cranes Mill served the isolated ranching community. Educational landmarks like Martin School and Rebecca Creek School are documented, highlighting the era's local school districts. The terrain is characterized by prominent peaks like Twin Sisters Mtn and Big Head Mtn, with the Little Blanco River crossing the northern reaches near the village of Twin Sisters.
