2019 Map of Poteet

About this map

Poteet serves as the focal point of this Atascosa County landscape, situated at the confluence of several critical Texas waterways including the Atascosa River, Palo Alto Cr, and Agua Negra Cr. The settlement pattern revealed here is deeply tied to its agricultural roots, evidenced by the presence of the Alderman Farm Airport and a dense network of local roads such as Strawberry City Rd and Garcia Estrada Rd. Of significant interest to genealogists and local historians is the remarkable density of family and community burial grounds surrounding the town center. These include San Pedro Cem, Poteet Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Madre Dolorosa Cem, as well as the more outlying Willborn Cem and Herrera Cem. The terrain is characterized by gentle shifts toward the Rutledge Hollow and the meandering paths of Elm Cr and Galvan Cr, illustrating the hydrological importance of this region south of San Antonio.
