1967 Map of Longhorn

About this map

San Antonio expands northward into the ranchlands and creek valleys of Bexar County in this late-1960s survey, updated with purple revisions from the early 1970s. The landscape is a study in rapid suburbanization, where residential developments like Hollywood Park and Windcrest emerge alongside the sprawling San Antonio International Airport. Local history is preserved in sites like the Wetmore Cem and Coker Ch, which stand in contrast to the modern commerce of the North Star Mall Shopping Center. The rugged limestone geography is evident in the numerous quarries and the Robber Baron Cave near Alamo Heights Jr High Sch. Industrial infrastructure, including the Missouri Pacific Railroad and Longhorn Siding, cuts through the terrain, illustrating the region's role as a transportation hub even as the San Antonio Corporate Boundary moves further into the hills.
