About this map

San Antonio expands into the limestone hills of northern Bexar County on this early 1990s record of rapid suburbanization. The landscape is defined by a series of north-south drainage corridors including Leon Creek, Salado Creek, and Olmos Creek, where residential developments like Oakland Estates and Shavano Park are woven between active and former Quarry operations. Educational institutions anchor the growing neighborhoods, ranging from the sprawling University of Texas at San Antonio campus in the northwest to established local landmarks like Locke Hill Sch.

Evidence of the area's transition from rural ranching to modern infrastructure is visible in the presence of the Camp Bullis Military Reservation and the industrial remnants near Beckmann. Local history is captured in the location of the Olga Site and numerous community spiritual centers like St Francis Ch and Oxford Church. The map also details the complex medical infrastructure around the SW Texas Medical Center, signaling the region's shift toward service-based urban growth.
