The San Antonio River and Olmos Cr serve as the hydrologic anchor for this urban landscape, where the Olmos Reservoir and nearby San Antonio Springs mark the intersection of natural water sources and municipal development. The map reveals the dense residential and institutional character of Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills, while the western edge captures the preservation of the city's heritage through the Monte Vista Residential Historic District and the La Villita Historic District. Massive infrastructure projects define the era, notably the presence of the Alamodome and the complex web of highways including Ih 35 and Ih 10. Significant land is dedicated to the dead and the military, with the Ft Sam Houston National Cem and San Antonio National Cem serving as prominent landmarks for local history and genealogy research.
