About this map

Elmendorf serves as the primary settlement in this Bexar County landscape, where industrial infrastructure and water management define the modern geography. The presence of the O W Somerset-J T Deely-J K Spruce Generating Complex on the shores of Calaveras Lake marks the area's role in regional power production. This massive reservoir, along with the edge of Victor Braunig Lake, transformed the drainage of Calaveras Cr and Parita Cr into a complex of engineered water bodies and conservation sites.

Family history is preserved through numerous small burial grounds that dot the outskirts of Sayers and Boldtville. These sites, including Arciniega Cem, Holbrecht Cem, and Sauceda Cem, provide vital genealogical anchors in a region where rural roads like New Sulphur Springs Rd connect older agricultural holdings. Aviation also marks the terrain, with Midlake Airport and Cross-B Airport supporting local transit near the growing suburban corridors south of San Antonio.
