About this postcard

View across the still water of Medina Lake, with wooded hills along the far shore and live oak and cedar growing from a rocky limestone ledge in the foreground. The caption places the reservoir near San Antonio, Texas. Medina Lake formed behind the Medina Dam, completed in 1913 on the Medina River west of the city, and in these years it drew San Antonio residents out to the Hill Country to fish, boat, and camp along the shore.
