2016 Map of Southton

About this map

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park anchors this 2016 survey, preserving the cultural and hydrological legacy of the San Antonio River valley. The map reveals a landscape where colonial-era engineering like the Espada Ditch exists alongside modern aviation hubs like Stinson Municipal Airport and Triple R Airport. To the south, the terrain transitions from the dense urban grid of San Antonio into a series of smaller named settlements including Bergs Mill, Southton, and Earle. This region is defined by its water systems, from the confluence of the Medina River and Leon Cr to the expansive Victor Braunig Lake and Mitchell Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed plotting of local interments at San Jose Burial Park, Mission Burial Park, and the Mission Espada Cem, providing a precise record of the area's historical community hubs.
