1925 Map of Tordia No. 1

USGS Topo · Published 1925

About this map

The San Antonio River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Wilson and Karnes Counties, anchoring a landscape of rural schoolhouses and family settlements in the mid-1920s. Falls City serves as the primary population center, situated along the San Antonio and Aransas Pass RR near its namesake falls. This area, surveyed during the early years of aerial photogrammetry, reveals a network of community hubs like Froshinn Hall and scattered educational sites including Three Oaks School, Laake School, and Arnold School. Local geography is defined by family-named landmarks and watercourses such as Deweeville, the Dewee Ranch, and the descriptively named Scared Dog Creek. The importance of river crossings is evident at Mays Crossing, where a dedicated schoolhouse served the nearby agrarian population.
