2019 Map of Helena

About this map

Helena stands as the primary settlement in this part of Karnes County, situated near the confluence of the San Antonio River and Ecleto Cr. This landscape is defined by the winding paths of these waterways, including Cibolo Cr and Dry Ecleto Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads. The presence of the Helena Cem northeast of the town center offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this South Texas region. To the southwest, Lookout Hill provides one of the few named topographic elevations in an area otherwise characterized by gentle river valleys. The road network, including FM 81 and CR 357, radiates from the town, reflecting a long-standing rural infrastructure that serves the local ranching and agricultural interests common to the San Antonio River basin.
