1992 Map of La Vernia SW

About this map

Cooksey Oil Field dominates the central landscape of this Wilson County region, illustrating the industrial footprint of petroleum extraction in South Texas during the late 20th century. The map captures the boundary between Bexar and Wilson Counties, showing a rural landscape in transition. Significant local activity is visible through the presence of a Landing Strip, a Gravel Pit, and various radio towers. Traditional settlement patterns remain centered around La Vernia and Lone Oak, with the Old Railroad Grade marking the path of former transportation routes. Watercourses like Kieaster Creek and Dry Hollow define the drainage patterns toward the southeast, while family and community history is anchored by the La Vernia Cem and the outlying Grass Pond Colony.
