About this map

Waring and the smaller community of Welfare are the primary hubs in this central Texas landscape, where the Guadalupe River carves a winding path through the limestone hills. The 2010 survey reflects a rural region defined by large ranch properties and a network of named hollows, including Coffee Hollow and First Coffee Hollow. Evidence of long-standing family landholdings is preserved in the naming of several local burial grounds, such as Insall Cemetery, Ammann Cemetery, and Zoeller Cemetery.

Transportation through the area relies on FM 289 and a series of winding county roads like Waring Welfare Rd. To the south, Nelson City sits near the headwaters of Zinke Creek, while notable topographic markers such as Schleicher Mountain and Ring Mountain overlook the drainage basins of Big Joshua Creek and Little Joshua Creek. Landmarks like Camp Capers and the Waring Post Office anchor the civic life of these communities.
