1958 Map of Marion

About this map

The Southern Pacific rail line cuts a straight path through this Texas landscape, connecting the growing settlements of Marion and Cibolo during the late 1950s. The geography is defined by the winding course of Cibolo Creek, which forms a sharp horseshoe at Crescent Bend as it flows toward the south. This survey reveals a transition from traditional agricultural land use to early mid-century developments, evidenced by the presence of the Zuehl Air Force Auxiliary Field in the south and the Schertz Sportsmans Club nearby.
