About this map

The southern edge of San Antonio meets the rural reaches of the Bexar and Atascosa county line in this survey of the South Texas brush country. The landscape is defined by the dendritic drainage of several vital watercourses, including the Medina River and its tributaries like Elm Creek, Palo Alto Creek, and Gallinas Creek. Settlement patterns are concentrated along historic thoroughfares such as Palo Alto Road and Pleasanton Road, which lead toward the small community of Thelma.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of several burial grounds, including Oak Island Cemetery near C W Anderson Road and the adjacent First Memorial Cemetery and Saints Oakwood Cemetery. The map also captures specialized land uses such as Cannon Field and the modern residential expansions of Genevia Irene, reflecting the outward growth of the metropolitan area into traditional ranching and farming lands.
