1958 Map of La Coste

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Medina River carves a winding path through this corner of south-central Texas, where the landscape transitions from the agricultural plains of the Pearson area to the more broken terrain near Rhins Hill. The settlement at La Coste serves as a central hub, anchored by the Southern Pacific tracks and the spire of Our Lady of Grace Ch. Further west, the historic Alsatian character of Castroville is evident, situated at the edge of the Flat Rock Creek valley. A critical element of the local economy is the Medina Irrigation Canal, which reflects the 20th-century engineering efforts to harness the river for the region’s farming needs. Transportation corridors dominate the north and south, with the Missouri Pacific line running through the southern reaches and the Castroville Municipal Airport serving as a modern landmark in this mid-century rural landscape.
