1967 Map of Castle Hills

About this map

The San Antonio Corporate Boundary pushes northward into the limestone hills of Bexar County in this late-sixties survey, capturing a landscape in transition. While the suburban grid of Castle Hills and Hollywood Park expands rapidly, the northern reaches remain dominated by the Leon Springs Military Reservation and the sprawling acreage of the Oak Hills Country Club. The Southern Pacific rail line cuts a straight path through the territory, passing the former site of Olga and the established crossroads at Beckmann. Local landmarks like the Dollar Downs Racetrack and the growing SW Texas Medical Center indicate the region's shift from rural ranching and quarrying toward a modern metropolitan hub. Smaller community anchors, including the Locke Hill Cemetery and Lockhill School, provide essential reference points for genealogists tracking the area's early family settlements.
