1970 Map of San Geronimo

About this map

The settlement at San Geronimo and the surrounding ranchlands are documented here as they appeared in 1970, showing a landscape defined by water and working land. Small rural cemeteries such as Lee Cem and Zapata Cem provide vital clues for genealogists tracking early families in this corner of the Texas Hill Country. The terrain is intricately marked by the drainage of San Geronimo Creek, Limekiln Creek, and Deep Creek, while the presence of Indian Mound Springs and Honeymoon Spring indicates the area’s historic reliance on natural water sources. Large operations like Gallagher Ranch and Kallison Ranch dominate the geography, supported by a network of functional infrastructure including Maverick Sch, a Radio Facility, and numerous remote wells like High Lonesome Well. This 1970s record, updated with 1982 revisions, preserves the cattle-country character before suburban expansion began to alter the region north of San Antonio.
