1960 Map of Helena

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

Helena sits as a quiet hub in Karnes County, positioned at the convergence of several major waterways and regional roads during the mid-twentieth century. The San Antonio River meanders sharply across the central landscape, joined by its tributaries including Cibolo Creek, Ecleto Creek, and Dry Ecleto Creek. This network of water determined the settlement's early importance and ongoing geography. The map reveals a land utilized for both agriculture and industry, with multiple Quarries and large industrial Pipelines crossing the terrain. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Helena Cem and another smaller Cem located nearby, while the elevation of Lookout Hill provides a vantage point over the river valley. The dense collection of creeks like Mc Tunnel Creek highlights the drainage patterns that defined life and land use in this part of South Texas.
