1958 Map of La Coste

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Medina River valley in the late 1950s is defined by a complex network of water management and transportation, where the Medina Irrigation Canal snakes through the landscape south of Lacoste. This era captures the transition of the regional economy, with the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads providing vital connections through settlements like Pearson. To the northwest, the Castroville Air Force Auxiliary Field stands as a prominent Cold War-era landmark near the historic community of Castroville, complete with its own Tetrahedron navigational marker. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Potecat Creek and Sous Creek, which fed the agricultural lifeblood of Medina County before modern suburban expansion. Local education and faith are centered at Our Lady of Grace Sch, serving the families living between the river bluffs and the rising elevation of Rhins Hill.
