About this map

Castroville and La Coste anchor this survey of the South Texas landscape, where the Medina River and its various tributaries define the local geography. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential to the region's agricultural character, featuring the Medina Irrigation Canal and Natalia Canal alongside several named bodies of water like Alamo Angus Ranch Lake and Ruby Lake. This system reflects the historical reliance on irrigation to sustain the rural economy between the river forks.

Transportation corridors are prominent, with Old US Hwy 90 E and FM 471 connecting the settlements. Local aviation is represented by the Castroville Municipal Airport, while the terrain is marked by distinct landmarks such as Rhins Hill. Small-scale features, including Pearson and numerous named county roads like Lower La Coste Rd, provide a granular view of property boundaries and local transit patterns across the Medina and Bexar County line.
