About this map

The Medina River meanders through this southwest Bexar County landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for the communities of Macdona and Von Ormy. In the early 1990s, the area maintained a distinct balance between its agricultural roots and military presence, dominated in the northeast by the Lackland Air Force Base Training Annex. This map is particularly valuable for genealogists, as it identifies several small family or community burial grounds, including Arnold Cem, Tripp Cem, and San Isidro Cem, often situated near early ranch holdings like Luckey Ranch and Rio Vista Farms.

Industrial activity is evidenced by the Von Ormy Field and various other oil fields and gravel pits scattered across the terrain. The transportation network is defined by the Southern Pacific railroad and a grid of rural routes such as Cagnon Road and Pearsall Road. The map also captures the local educational infrastructure with the Southwest High Sch and Southwest Jr High Sch located near Mann Crossing.
