1953 Map of Castle Hills
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The northern reaches of San Antonio appear during a decade of rapid northward suburban expansion, centered on the emerging community of Castle Hills. This 1953 survey captures the landscape just as the city limits began to press against the ranch lands and creek valleys of the Texas Hill Country. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts a diagonal line through the terrain, passing through Beckmann and near the Camp Bullis Military Reservation in the north. Educational institutions like the Lockhill Sch and Little Red Wagon Sch speak to the growing residential character of the area, while the Oak Hills Country Club and Stowers Ranch indicate the mix of leisure and legacy agricultural use. The drainage patterns of Salado Creek and Leon Creek define the local topography, punctuated by high points such as Ninemile Hill.
