1967 Map of Macdona

About this map

Von Ormy and Macdona anchor this landscape southwest of San Antonio, where the Medina River carves through a region defined by established cattle ranching and emerging military expansion. The map reveals the sprawling presence of Medina Base and a portion of Lackland Air Force Base, highlighting the area's strategic importance during the mid-20th century. Local history is deeply embedded in the rural infrastructure, seen in the numerous family and community burial grounds such as Hermann Cem, Becker Cem, and the Mann Crossing Cem.
