1967 Map of Longhorn

About this map

San Antonio expands northward into the brush-dotted hills of Bexar County on this mid-century topographic survey, showing a landscape in transition from rural ranchland to suburban enclave. The northern boundary of the city is clearly marked as it reaches toward established communities like Wetmore and Hill Country Village. Significant infrastructure for local aviation is visible through the Yates Landing Area, Twin Oaks Landing Strip, and Stahl Landing Strip, alongside the Missouri Pacific rail line that skirts Theis Hill. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named burial sites remain on the landscape, including Classen Cem, Tampke Cem, and Schulmeier Cem, which stand in contrast to the larger Sunset Memorial Park. The map documents the emerging residential patterns in Hollywood Park and Windcrest as they began to define the modern character of northern Bexar County.
