About this map

The suburban expansion of San Antonio meets the agricultural heritage of eastern Bexar County in this contemporary landscape. Large-scale residential developments in Converse, Schertz, and Kirby press against established rural communities like St. Hedwig and China Grove. The terrain is defined by a series of south-flowing drainages, including Martinez Cr, Salitrillo Cr, and Calaveras Cr, several of which feature reservoirs managed by the Soil Conservation Service.

Infrastructure dominates the central corridor, where the interstate and major loops bisect the landscape near Calf Hill. Despite modern growth, the area's history is preserved in several small burial grounds, such as Kempin Cem and the Salem Cem near Chupaderas Cr. This map documents a region in transition, where legacy farms and naming conventions like Jackies Farm and Cedar Farm now coexist with modern thoroughfares and utility networks.
