1964 Map of Waring

About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders through the heart of this Kendall County landscape, dictating the placement of early settlements and transportation routes in the mid-1960s. The Southern Pacific railroad parallels the river's course, serving the small community of Waring and passing near the local landmark of Welfare. This era shows a transition in travel as the historic Old San Antonio Road cuts through the southern terrain near Nelson City. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named burial sites, including Brownsboro Cemetery, Insall Cem, and Zoeller Cem. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Jungfrau and Schleicher Mountain, while the drainage network includes Big Joshua Creek and Flat Rock Creek, illustrating the complex watershed that feeds into the main river valley.
