1953 Map of Culebra Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Medina Base Military Reservation and the western edge of Lackland Air Force Base anchor the southern portion of this landscape, reflecting the heavy military presence in Bexar County during the early 1950s. The terrain transitions from the elevations of Culebra Hill and Padrone Hill down to the creek beds of Culebra Creek and Potranca Creek. This era shows a predominantly rural environment prior to the extensive suburbanization of San Antonio, with small community centers identified by rural schools like Culebra Sch, Mackey Sch, and Hoffman Sch. Transportation routes of local and regional significance, including the historic Spanish Trail and the Jefferson Davis Highway, cross the territory. A notable institutional landmark, an Orphanage, is located near the intersection of these major roads, providing a specific point of interest for local history researchers and genealogists tracing family locations in this part of Texas.
