1967 Map of Longhorn

About this map

The San Antonio corporate boundary bisects this landscape, marking the northward expansion of the city into the surrounding Bexar County ranchlands. The settlement of Wetmore and the surrounding area exhibit a transition from rural homesteads to suburban developments like Windcrest, Hollywood Park, and Hill Country Village. This era of growth is underscored by the density of educational institutions, ranging from the historic Coker Sch to modern campuses like Douglas MacArthur High Sch and Theodore Roosevelt High Sch. Numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Classen Cem, Tampke Cem, and Beitel Memorial Cem, are preserved amidst the emerging residential grid.
