1967 Map of San Antonio East

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Fort Sam Houston dominates the central landscape of eastern San Antonio in the late 1960s, its sprawling grounds and firing ranges serving as a massive military enclave surrounded by rapid urban growth. To the south, the recently developed HemisFair Plaza and the iconic Tower of the Americas represent a modernizing city, while the traditional centers of Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills maintain their distinct corporate boundaries. The rail-heavy industrial corridors are defined by the Missouri - Kansas - Texas and Southern Pacific lines, which cut through neighborhoods filled with local landmarks like Wheatley High Sch and Incarnate Word College. This survey captures the city just as the interstate system, including Interstate 35, began to reshape the flow of traffic around historic parks like Brackenridge Park and the meandering San Antonio River.
