1966 Map of Helotes

About this map

Helotes and Grey Forest occupy the transition where the Balcones Escarpment rises from the coastal plain, shown here during a period of expansion in northwestern Bexar County. The landscape is defined by the drainage of Helotes Creek, French Creek, and Culebra Creek, with numerous family-named landmarks and early burial sites scattered throughout the hills. Genealogists will find several notable cemeteries, including Menchaca Cem, Lee Cem, and Helotes Cem, which reflect the area's deep-rooted ranching and settlement history.
