1931 Map of Tordia

About this map

The San Antonio River carves a winding path through the Karnes and Wilson County border in this 1925 survey, showing the landscape as it functioned during the transition to more modern infrastructure. In the northeast corner, Falls City serves as a primary hub along the Southern Pacific railroad line, while rural gathering points like Froshinn Hall and the remote settlement of Deweesville anchor the surrounding ranching and farming community. The map illustrates a network of early country education, including Laake Sch, Arnold Sch, and the Mays Crossing Sch situated near the river's edge. This sheet is notable for its partial completion, featuring a large Preliminary Edition Unsurveyed Area that highlights the ongoing work of the U.S. Geological Survey and the Board of Water Engineers to map the more complex drainage of tributaries like Scared Dog Creek and Conquista Creek.
