About this map

The Guadalupe River snakes through this Texas Hill Country landscape, serving as the central topographical anchor for the small settlements of Waring and Welfare. By the early 1980s, when this 1964 survey was revised, the transportation network showed clear signs of evolution, notably marked by an Old Railroad Grade and Old Road Grade that trace the path of former transit corridors through the valley.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant family-history markers, including the Brownsboro Cemetery, Insall Cem, and Zoeller Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Schleicher Mountain, Ring Mtn, and Jungfrau, while the hydrologic pattern is shaped by the confluence of Big Joshua Creek and Little Joshua Creek with the main river. Industrial footprints are visible in several quarries and a Gravel Pit along the riverbanks, indicating the local extraction of limestone and river rock common to this Kendall County region.
