About this map

China Grove and the namesake settlement of Martinez anchor this landscape on the eastern outskirts of San Antonio during the early 21st century. The area is defined by a sophisticated water management system designed by the Soil Conservation Service, featuring numerous reservoirs and dams such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir and Calaveras Creek Dam Number 6. This network of flood control structures crisscrosses a terrain of creek beds including Martinez Creek and Escondido Creek.

Infrastructure for the growing region is evident in the presence of the Martindale Army Air Field and the San Antonio Raceway near Calf Hill. For those tracing local heritage, several small burial grounds are documented, including Salem Cemetery and Kempin Cemetery, which sit alongside established rural routes like FM 1346 and FM 1516. The map captures a moment of transition where agricultural land use meets modern wastewater facilities and expanding transportation corridors.
