About this map

Medina River and the San Antonio River converge in this corner of south Texas, shaping a landscape defined by seasonal creek beds and agrarian settlements. This area, primarily situated in Bexar County, shows the community of Losoya during a period of mid-century growth. Religious life is deeply rooted here, evidenced by several local landmarks including Our Lady of Mt Carmel Ch, Mt Carmel Chapel, and the Shady Oak Mission.

Transport and industrial infrastructure intersect the rural terrain, with the Missouri Pacific railroad running through the western sections while a Pipeline cuts diagonally across the countryside. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of early educational centers like South Side High Sch and Thelma Sch. The inclusion of Oil Wells and various Borrow Pits speaks to the region's mid-century extractive industries alongside the recreational space of South Side High Sch Recreational Area.
