1964 Map of Castroville

About this map

Castroville serves as the focal point of this survey, showcasing its established town grid along the Medina River and its transition from early settlement to a regional center in Medina County. The landscape is defined by the sharp contrast between the irrigated valley floor and the surrounding hills, such as Clousley Hill and California Hill. The Medina Canal and various siphons illustrate the sophisticated water management required for agriculture in this Texas climate, while the Southern Pacific line connects the smaller settlements of Dunlay and Noonan to the broader rail network.
