About this map

San Antonio's northern growth and the surrounding Hill Country are captured in this 1990s-era study, revealing a landscape defined by military installations and emerging suburban corridors. Large federal tracts like the Camp Bullis Military Reservation and Camp Stanley form a significant buffer north of the city, while the University of Texas At San Antonio and San Antonio International Airport anchor the urban edge. This period shows the intensification of the Interstate 35 and Interstate 10 corridors, connecting the regional hub of New Braunfels to smaller settlements like Boerne and Cibolo.

Hydrology dictates the character of the hinterland, from the expanse of Canyon Lake on the Guadalupe River to the rugged limestone features of the Devils Backbone. The map provides a detailed view of the regional transit network, featuring the Southern Pacific and Missouri-Kansas-Texas RR lines that historically shaped the trade routes of Comal and Bexar counties. From the quiet riverside of Guadalupe River State Park to the bustling airfield at Randolph Air Force Base, the sheet documents a diverse Texan landscape at a point of rapid transition.
