About this map

The Medina Canal and its intricate network of irrigation siphons define the agricultural landscape of Medina County in this mid-1960s study. Centered on the settlement of Riomedina, the area is dominated by the meandering course of the Medina River and its numerous tributaries, including Quihi Creek, Opossum Creek, and Yellow Creek. These waterways cut through a terrain of low hills and plains, with Indian Hill serving as a primary local landmark.

Detailed infrastructure such as an Athletic Field and a Radio Tower point to the community's mid-century development, while the presence of a Siphon and multiple gravel pits illustrates the local management of water and mineral resources. The map also captures the path of Red Wing Road and State Route 471, providing a clear view of the rural transport network before later 20th-century expansions modified the local footprint.
