the edge of the of the Balcones escarpment which forms the eastern edge of the
Edwards Plateau. This city of over a million people derives all of its water
from the limestone aquifer in the plateau. This series of photographs shows the
quarries along the edge of the plateau to the North of San Antonio. They are
the white areas in the darker green edge along Highway 281. To the South near
Pearsall irrigated fields are visible. Pearsall is recognizable by the bypass
of Interstate Highway 35 around the town. Other prominent features are the "L"
shaped Lake Medina West of the city and Canyon Lake to the North. East of the
city is a darker area of vegetation that denotes a band of sandy soils. The
area supports conifers rather than the prairie-scrub of the surrounding soils.
