1953 Map of Elmendorf

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal path through the southeastern corner of Bexar County, anchoring the town of Elmendorf. In the early 1950s, this landscape was defined by its transition from agricultural creek bottoms to active petroleum extraction, with both the Eckert Oil Field and Lone Oak Oil Field marked by numerous oil wells and oil tanks. The drainage networks of Honda Creek and Calaveras Creek create a rolling topography where small settlements like Utzville and Sayers are situated.
