1960 Map of Helena

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Helena community, once the former county seat of Karnes County, is the focal point of this 1960 landscape. The settlement is positioned along a network of roads that converge near the Helena Cem and another smaller Cem, indicating the long-standing residential and ancestral roots of this South Texas prairie. The terrain is deeply defined by the winding course of the San Antonio River, which snakes through the center of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries like Ecleto Creek and McTannel Creek. This riparian network contrasts with the surrounding agricultural and industrial activity, evidenced by the presence of several Quarry sites and a series of Pipelines crossing the fields. Dominating the local topography to the west, Lookout Hill provides a distinct high point overlooking the river valley, marking a transition in the elevation of this rural ranching and farming district during the mid-twentieth century.
