This page uses Floresville as the central reference for a Wilson County Texas Map, then follows the road network southeast toward Poth, east toward Stockdale, and north toward La Vernia. Download the high-resolution A3 JPG map ZIP from the box below when you need printable or editable files; it contains separate county-reference, city-connections, terrain-and-water, and elevation maps.
Wilson County is defined by a mix of small-town road corridors and rolling creek-cut terrain. Floresville is the clearest settlement hub in the southwest-central part of the county. Poth lies southeast, Stockdale is east, and La Vernia sits near the northern side. Beneath those roads, San Antonio River, Cibolo Creek, Ecleto Creek, and numerous tributaries occupy lower valleys, while the elevation map shows much higher ground across the northwest and parts of the north.

Floresville links Poth, Stockdale, and La Vernia across the county
Floresville is the easiest place to locate first on the county reference map. Route 181 approaches from the northwest, passes through the Floresville area, and continues toward Poth in the southeast. Route 97 heads toward the southwestern county edge. Those two roads give the lower half of the map a simple frame before the more distant northern and eastern routes are considered.
La Vernia lies north of Floresville, while Stockdale is farther east. Route shields 87 and 119 are visible near the Stockdale side, and route 123 runs north-south through the eastern half. Poth remains the closer southeastern settlement along the route 181 direction. Because the four main communities occupy different parts of the county, they provide an especially useful set of reference points for reading the road map.
Blue stream lines fill much of the open land between roads. The northern and central parts contain especially dense branching tributaries, while the southwest is crossed by the larger San Antonio River system. Even before the terrain map is opened, the reference layer suggests that Wilson County is not a uniformly flat plain but a landscape repeatedly divided by shallow valleys and ridges.
Poth is about 7 miles from Floresville, Stockdale 14, and La Vernia 15
The city-connections map uses Floresville as the hub and prints direct distances to Poth, Stockdale, and La Vernia. Poth is about 7 miles from Floresville, Stockdale about 14 miles, and La Vernia about 15 miles. These are straight-line distances between mapped city points rather than driving mileages, so actual road travel will vary with the route and exact start and end locations.
The CITY CONNECTIONS panel shows map values of 8,007 for Floresville, 1,532 for Poth, 1,377 for Stockdale, and 1,095 for La Vernia. These figures explain the ranking and relative display used in the supplied graphic and should not be treated as guaranteed current population estimates. For geographic reading, the more useful pattern is that Floresville serves as the southwest-central hub while the three other communities extend the county in distinct southeast, east, and north directions.
County labels around the map add a useful regional frame. Bexar and Atascosa counties are on the western and southwestern sides, Guadalupe County is north, and Gonzales and DeWitt counties are to the east. That frame helps explain why La Vernia sits near the northern edge, why Stockdale is close to the eastern side, and why Floresville remains the most convenient reference for the lower half.
San Antonio River and the Cibolo–Ecleto creek systems occupy the lower valleys
San Antonio River is the strongest named waterway in the southwestern half of the terrain-and-water map. It bends through the lower interior, and Mariana Creek and Picosa Creek join the same general drainage area. Borrego Creek and Sulphur Creek appear farther southwest, adding smaller named valleys near the county edge.
In the north, Cibolo Creek forms a prominent channel descending through the higher terrain. Alum Creek lies to the east of it. Farther east, Ecleto Creek and Elm Creek provide another pair of long drainage references. Sandpit Creek and Kicaster Creek are labeled in the northwestern side, where the elevation map shows some of the county’s highest and most strongly dissected ground.
Marcelinas Creek runs through the south-central interior, while Dry Creek forms a long eastern valley. Numerous unnamed tributaries are also visible, but the supplied map does not assign names to every channel. Focusing on the labeled waterways makes the county easier to understand: Wilson County is shaped more by a network of rivers and creeks than by one dominant lake.
This layer is intended for geographic water and terrain reference rather than flood-risk analysis, navigation, water depth, parcel boundaries, or water-management decisions. Its main value here is to show how the Cibolo and Ecleto systems cut through the northern half, how the San Antonio River occupies the southwest, and how the many tributaries create lower corridors between the ridges.
Elevation reaches 243 meters in the northwest and falls into creek valleys
The elevation map reports an actual range of about 90 to 243 meters and a mean elevation of 138 meters. The darkest brown high terrain is concentrated in the northwest, with additional high ridges across parts of the north. Broad green lower terrain becomes more common toward the south and east, especially along the San Antonio River and the larger creek valleys.
The northwestern high ground is deeply divided by tributaries rather than forming one smooth plateau. Cibolo Creek follows one of the clearer low corridors through the north, while San Antonio River creates another broad lower passage farther southwest. Marcelinas Creek and Dry Creek occupy additional south-central and eastern valleys. The result is a rolling county where local height changes repeatedly over short distances even though there are no major mountain ranges.
This countywide elevation surface is designed for broad terrain comparison rather than parcel surveying, engineering, or construction design. It is useful for seeing why the northwest and the La Vernia side are higher, where the major river and creek valleys are lower, and how terrain changes around Floresville and toward the eastern side. Exact site elevation should be checked with detailed source data or a local survey.
Choose the view by whether roads, town spacing, waterways, or relief matters most
Use the county reference map when Floresville, Poth, Stockdale, La Vernia, road labels, and the county boundary need to appear together. The city-connections view is cleaner for comparing direct spacing from Floresville to the three other mapped communities. The terrain-and-water layer is the best place to trace San Antonio River, Cibolo Creek, Ecleto Creek, and the other named waterways, while the elevation map makes the northwestern hills and lower southern and eastern valleys easiest to compare.
The downloadable ZIP contains four separate high-resolution A3 JPG files for Wilson County: county reference, city connections, terrain and water, and elevation. You can inspect the lighter WebP versions in the article first and then use the larger JPG files for printing, classroom material, presentations, or an editable local-reference document.
