About this map

The Guadalupe River carves a winding path through this portion of the Texas Hill Country, anchoring a landscape where small settlements like Waring and Welfare maintain a quiet presence. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Schleicher Mountain and Ring Mountain, while the lowlands are marked by series of drainages including First Coffee Hollow and Big Joshua Cr. The arrival of the modern interstate era is clearly visible as I-10 bisects the terrain, creating a stark contrast to the older farm-to-market roads like FM-1621 and FM-473.

Genealogists will find this 2013 survey particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Insall Cem, Brownsboro Cem, and the Welfare Beseler Cem. The area near Nelson City and Rust Field Airport shows the continued intersection of ranching traditions and rural aviation. Features like Camp Capers and the localized ridges of Napa Ridge and Kendall Jackson reflect the unique geographical nomenclature of Kendall County.
