2013 Map of Helena

About this map

The San Antonio River meanders across this Karnes County landscape, joined by its northern tributaries including Cibolo Cr and Ecleto Cr. The settlement of Helena serves as the focal point, situated at a junction of regional roads such as FM-81 and Co RD-301. This area preserves the footprint of a rural Texas community, centered around the Helena Cem and the prominent rising elevation of Lookout Hill to the west. The drainage network is particularly detailed here, showing the courses of Dry Ecleto Cr and McTennel Cr. Local transportation is defined by a dense grid of county roads, including the historically named Wofford Crossing Rd, which highlights early river-crossing points that helped establish the settlement patterns in this part of South Texas.
