1954 Map of San Antonio
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
San Antonio and the surrounding Hill Country appear here during a period of significant mid-century growth and military expansion. The map clearly illustrates the transition from the rugged Edwards Plateau across the Balcones Escarpment into the coastal plains, showing how the city's urban footprint began to encircle established neighborhoods like Alamo Heights and Olmos Park. Extensive federal footprints including Lackland AFB, Kelly AFB, and the Camp Bullis Military Reservation anchor the regional economy, while the presence of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific rail lines highlights the area's continued role as a transportation hub.
