1967 Map of Elmendorf
USGS Topo · Published 1969About this map
Calaveras Lake and the Braunig Lake reservoir system dominate this 1967 landscape southeast of San Antonio. The expansion of these water bodies, regulated by structures like Forney Dam and numerous check dams along Calaveras Creek, shows a region transitioning to support growing power and infrastructure needs. Near the settlement of Elmendorf, the Southern Pacific railroad cuts across the terrain, passing through a rural landscape dotted with family and community legacy sites including San Lorenzo Cem, Arciniega Cem, and Flores Cem. Industrial activity is evident at the Eckert Oil Field and scattered Claypit and Gravel Pit operations. The presence of several radio towers, including the WOAI and KENS facilities, highlights the area's role as a communications hub for the county during the late 1960s.
