About this map

The San Antonio River winds through the northern portion of this South Texas landscape, carving a fertile valley south of Floresville. This area is defined by its ranching heritage and rural cemetery network, including Dewees Cem, Evergreen Cem, and the Picosa Martinez Cem Number Two, which serve as vital markers for family historians in Wilson County. A significant portion of the riverfront is protected within the San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, preserving the historical corridor near the settlement of Dewees.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain is shaped by several local tributaries like Picosa Cr and Olmos Cr, alongside man-made water features such as Seale Ranch Lake and Kilgore Lake. The land is crisscrossed by farm-to-market roads and cattle-oriented infrastructure, including the Circle P Ranch Airport. This modern survey provides a detailed look at contemporary land use and property boundaries in a region that has maintained its agricultural character for generations.
