1992 Map of Helotes

About this map

The community of Helotes sits at the base of the Texas Hill Country, serving as a gateway between the limestone ridges to the northwest and the expanding suburban reach of San Antonio to the southeast. This 1992 survey documents a period of rapid transition, where quiet landmarks like the Madla Cem and Menchaca Cem are joined by modern infrastructure and academic institutions, including the sprawling University of Texas at San Antonio campus. The drainage patterns of Helotes Creek, Los Reyes Creek, and French Creek define the local topography, while numerous gravel pits reflect the area's geological utility. Local history is anchored by the Latin American Bible Institute and the older settlement of Grey Forest, even as the San Antonio Corporate Boundary pushes further into the foothills near Schnabel Park.
