1965 Map of Camp Bullis

About this map

The Leon Springs Military Reservation dominates the landscape of northern Bexar County in the mid-1960s, showcasing a dense network of military infrastructure and training grounds. Established installations at Camp Stanley and Camp Bullis are connected by the Government Railroad and a series of rugged paths like the Bullis Wilderness Road and Eagles Nest Trail. The terrain is characterized by dozens of named summits, including High Hill and the distinctive Mont Blanc, which overlook the winding courses of Cibolo Creek and Salado Creek. Genealogy and local history researchers can locate specific landmarks such as the Goforth Cem and various family-named features like Schasse Hill and Hue Hill. The presence of Observation Towers, Radio Towers, and a Landing Strip illustrates the tactical training utility of this Texas Hill Country terrain during the Cold War era.
