2022 Map of Helotes

About this map

Helotes and the surrounding Bexar County hill country are defined by a network of seasonal drainages and significant family heritage sites. This landscape, where the Balcones Escarpment meets the expanding suburbs of San Antonio, is dotted with numerous small burial grounds and landmarks that reflect generations of local settlement. From the Lee Cem in the north to the Ballscheit Family Cem further south, these sites offer specific points of interest for genealogists. The terrain is marked by significant features like Black Hill and Rhyder Ridge, while water sources such as Huesta Springs and Culebra Cr have historically shaped the development of the area. Modern infrastructure like Bandera Rd now connects the once-distinct community of Grey Forest with the larger metropolitan reach of Leon Valley, illustrating the suburban evolution of this region.
