About this map

Floresville serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad corridor meets the winding course of the San Antonio River. The town center is anchored by civic and community landmarks including the Courthouse, Memorial Hospital, and a Jr High Sch. Just to the northwest, the Casa Blanca Historical Marker stands near a sharp bend in the river, signaling the area's deep-rooted ranching and frontier history.

Industrial activity is evident along the riverbanks through a Gravel Pit and Quarry, while the surrounding terrain is defined by a network of waterways like Kicaster Creek, Mariana Creek, and Lodi Branch. To the northeast, the settlement of Lodi Sch and the Lodi Cem reflect a distinct community node. This 1960s-era survey, updated in the early 1970s, documents a period of steady transition as urban extensions began to push beyond the traditional grid of Standish Street.
