1964 Map of Smithson Valley

About this map

Canyon Reservoir dominates the northeastern corner of this landscape, its rising waters reshaping the Comal County hill country as it appeared in the mid-1960s. The area is a network of deeply etched drainages like Tom Creek and Rebecca Creek, where small family-named settlements and cemeteries preserve the genealogy of early Texas settlers. The central community of Smithson Valley is anchored by the Smithson Valley Cem, while further west, the Sherwood Sch stands as a local landmark.
