1958 Map of La Vernia SW

About this map

The Bexar Co Wilson Co boundary line bisects this landscape of south-central Texas, as it appeared in the late 1950s. The northern portion of the quadrangle is defined by agricultural activity and industrial development, most notably the Cooksey Oil Field and a prominent Pipeline corridor. Transport is dominated by the Southern Pacific rail line and a network of unimproved roads connecting small rural clusters like Lone Oak. In the south, the terrain becomes more pronounced as the drainage of Kicaster Creek and Dry Hollow carves through the earth, leading toward landmarks such as Rocky Point and Red Bluff. This survey captures the rural character of the area before modern expansion, preserving the locations of the La Vernia Cem and the small settlement of Grass Pond Colony near the southeastern edge.
