About this map

San Diego serves as the primary hub of this South Texas landscape, where the traditional grid of the town site meets a modern pattern of surrounding residential developments. The area is characterized by a series of colonias, including Mi Tierra Colonia, Four A's Colonia, and Loma Linda East Colonia, reflecting a specific era of rural-to-suburban settlement and land subdivision.

Industry and water management are critical to the region's character, evidenced by the San Diego Oil Field to the northwest and a network of flood control structures along Toro Creek and Muerto Creek. A sequence of numbered dams, from Chiltipin-San Fernando Dam Number 6 through Number 9, regulates the drainage into the Resaca de Enmedio. These features, alongside the course of San Diego Creek, illustrate the complex relationship between the semi-arid environment and the infrastructure required to sustain local communities and oil production.
