1967 Map of San Antonio East

About this map

Fort Sam Houston dominates the central landscape of this East San Antonio survey, illustrating the extensive military footprint in Bexar County during the late 1960s. The map captures the dense residential expansion of Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills as they press against the vast training grounds and airfield facilities. To the west, the San Antonio River winds through the cultural core of Brackenridge Park, home to the Zoo and Alamo Stadium. This period reveals a city in transition, where new developments shown in purple revisions, such as the San Antonio Air Force Station, sit alongside significant historical markers like the Dawson Massacre Historical Monument. The intricate rail network of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific lines remains a primary artery for the industrial sectors near Kirby, while numerous schools and parochial institutions like Incarnate Word College and St Philips College anchor the growing suburban neighborhoods.
