About this map

Macdona and Von Ormy serve as focal points in this southwestern Bexar County landscape, where the Medina River and its various sloughs shape the local geography. The map documents a transition from the urban sprawl of San Antonio in the northeast toward more rural ranching and industrial lands. Significant local heritage is preserved through numerous family and community burial sites, including the Arnold Cemetery, Becker Cemetery, and Hermann Cemetery.

Industrial and military influences are evident through features like the Medina Air Force Base Lake Dam, Standard Industries Airport, and scattered energy production at the Gas Ridge Oil Field and Fairfield Oil Field. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, with many small reservoirs such as Luckey Lake, Scott Lake, and Grothaus Lake dotting the drainages of Medio Creek and Elm Creek. The area’s connectivity is defined by the heavy corridor of the I-35 and historic routes like Pearsall Rd.
