About this map

St. Hedwig and the outskirts of La Vernia anchor this 2019 survey of the rural corridor where Bexar and Wilson Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Parita Creek, Kicaster Creek, and Sandpit Creek, which cut through a terrain marked by distinctive landmarks like Rocky Point and Lost Spring Hollow. This modern era of the region shows a transition from traditional agricultural use, exemplified by the Mc Creless Farm Airport, to increasing residential development along a dense network of roads.

Local history is preserved at the La Vernia Cemetery and in the named settlements of Lone Oak and Red Bluff. The presence of small private airfields like Cleveland Airport highlights the open, rural nature of the landscape south of Highway 87. This map provides a clear view of how long-standing family landholdings and small communities have adapted as the suburban reach of the San Antonio area extends eastward.
