About this map

San Antonio expands northward into the Texas Hill Country in this early 21st-century record, where established neighborhoods meet significant institutional corridors. The northern reaches are characterized by independent municipalities like Shavano Park and Hollywood Park, while the western edge is dominated by the sprawling University of Texas at San Antonio campus. This era shows a landscape heavily influenced by the Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 corridors, which sparked rapid commercial and residential infill around older landmarks like Locke Hill Cemetery and the Dollar Downs Racetrack.

A network of seasonal waterways, including Salado Creek and Leon Creek, threads through the suburban grid, often accompanied by drainage structures like the Soil Conservation Service Site 4 Dam. Smaller enclaves such as Olga and Beckmann sit along the historic routes of Old Fredericksburg Rd, providing a look at the transition from rural Bexar County to a dense metropolitan environment. High-density medical and educational centers are prominent, notably the South Texas Medical Center Post Office and Hardin-Simmons University.
