2016 Map of San Marcos South

About this map

The San Marcos River and Blanco River converge in this 2016 survey, a landscape defined by the suburban expansion of south San Marcos and the rural communities of Redwood and Zorn. The terrain transitions from the river bottoms to the elevation of Skyline Ridge, shaped by a series of regional water management projects including the John F Baugh Reservoir and numerous Soil Conservation Service sites. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds documented across the quadrangle, such as Pitts Cem, San Pedro Cem, and Crayton Cem. Small-scale aviation is represented by Alison Air Park, while the local hydrology is traced through Cottonwood Cr and York Cr, illustrating how modern infrastructure and flood control reservoirs have integrated with the historical settlement patterns of Hays and Guadalupe Counties.
