About this map

San Geronimo sits at the nexus of several Hill Country counties, where the high ground of Helotes Ridge gives way to the drainage systems of the San Geronimo Creek and Mesquite Creek. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply influenced by its karst topography, dotted with numerous named water sources such as Indian Mound Springs, Pecan Spring, and Honeymoon Spring. These springs and seasonal creeks historically dictated the placement of early ranching infrastructure and settlements.

Evidence of long-standing local families appears at the Lee Cemetery and Cepeda Cemetery, while the development of modern recreational and residential spaces is seen in the trails of Government Canyon and the San Geronimo Airpark. The transition from rural Medina County into the western reaches of San Antonio is marked by a densifying network of county roads and residential developments that contrast with the open terrain found near Schuchart Lake.
