About this map

The San Antonio River carves a winding path through this Texas landscape, serving as the central topographical feature for the city of Floresville. The settlement is oriented around the Southern Pacific railroad line, with institutional anchors like the Courthouse and Memorial Hospital marking the town's core. Historical depth is evident at the Casa Blanca Historical Marker located north of the river, while the local legacy of the Lodi community is preserved through the Lodi Cem and Lodi Sch along the Lodi Branch.

Extraction and industry define the surrounding rural areas, characterized by an Oil Field, numerous Quarries, and a Gravel Pit. The terrain shifts from the wooded bottomlands of Mariana Creek to the higher elevations of the Marcelinas Hills in the east. This survey captures a moment when traditional river-valley agriculture and small-town commerce were increasingly intersected by energy infrastructure, indicated by the prominent Pipeline corridors cutting across the quadrangle.
