2013 Map of San Antonio West

About this map

Lackland Air Force Base anchor the southwestern portion of this map, reflecting the deep military history of western San Antonio. The landscape is defined by the density of the urban grid, punctuated by vital water bodies such as Woodlawn Lake and Elmendorf Lake. As the city expanded, older land uses like the Union Stock Yards remained prominent features of the industrial and transit corridor. Educational and spiritual landmarks, including St Marys Univ and several major burial grounds like San Fernando Cem Number 1 and San Fernando Cem Number 2, provide clear points of reference for genealogists and local historians. The map also traces the winding courses of Leon Cr and Zarzamora Cr, which flow through the residential developments of Leon Valley and Balcones Heights.
