About this map

San Geronimo appears in this 1970 survey during a period of transition, with its core settlement area noted as being under construction. Situated along the San Geronimo Creek, the landscape is defined by its ranching heritage and the critical importance of water in this part of Medina County. Extensive cattle operations are evident through the presence of the Gallagher Ranch and Kallison Ranch, supported by a network of specialized infrastructure including the River Windmill, Wildcat Windmill, and Moses Windmill.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by features such as the Maverick Sch and family resting places like Cepeda Cem and Lee Cem. The terrain reveals a rugged character through the deep cuts of Government Canyon and Wildcat Canyon, while the numerous springs, including Indian Mound Springs and Blue Gallagher Heaven, suggest the long-term human reliance on these natural water sources for both livestock and homesteading.
