About this map

The San Antonio River and its historic irrigation network anchor this southern Bexar County landscape, where the San Juan Ditch and Espada Ditch trace the engineering legacy of the local missions. Near the settlement of Bergs Mill, the map reveals a dense concentration of commemorative sites, including San Jose Mission Cem and the expansive Mission Burial Park. This area serves as a critical aviation corridor for San Antonio, featuring the historic Stinson Municipal Airport alongside smaller facilities like Horizon Airport and Triple R Airport.

To the south, the terrain shifts toward resource extraction and rural industry at the Southton Oil Field and the Salado Creek Water Resources Complex. The confluence of the Medina River and the San Antonio River marks a transition toward larger water bodies like Blue Wing Lake and the corner of Victor Braunig Lake. This survey also documents the transit infrastructure connecting outlying communities such as Buena Vista and Earle via the Cassin Siding rail connection.
