About this map

Monteola and Bainville anchor this rural Texas landscape where the undulating drainage systems of the San Antonio River basin define the local topography. The meandering course of Medio Cr and its tributary, Dry Medio Cr, cut across the central and southern portions of the map, carving shallow valleys through the South Texas Plains. These watercourses have historically dictated the placement of roads and farmsteads in Karnes and Bee Counties, creating a web of county roads that follow the high ground between the creeks.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Pullin-Livingston Cem near the settlement of Caesar, providing a specific point of reference for early family holdings in the area. The map also records the exact position of the Karnes Co Bee Co boundary as it follows the irregular path of Medio Cr, reflecting how natural features were utilized to establish political divisions in this agricultural region.
