About this map

Turkey Knob and Cloud Mountain anchor this landscape at the intersection of Bandera, Kerr, and Kendall Counties in the mid-1960s. The area is defined by a complex network of canyons and drainages, including Privilege Creek, Bear Creek, and the headwaters of Cibolo Creek. This survey captures the rural infrastructure of the Texas Hill Country before modern expansion, featuring landmarks like the Privilege Sch and Rodriquez Ch.

Tracing the waterways reveals numerous perennial water sources such as Sycamore Spring, Champee Spring, and Wagner Spring, which were vital for the ranching operations indicated by the many fence lines throughout the terrain. A Ford crosses the creek near the Polly Cem, reflecting the local-scale transportation routes of the era, while Ranch Road No 473 and the Upper Cibolo Road provide primary access through the higher elevations.
