1953 Map of San Antonio West

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Kelly Air Force Base and the expansive Lackland Air Force Base dominate the southern landscape of this mid-century survey, illustrating the significant military footprint on the west side of San Antonio. The urban grid presses westward from the city center, reaching toward the hills of Balcones Heights and the developing Leon Valley. This era shows a transition where older routes like the Spanish Trail and Jefferson Davis Highway intersect with a rapidly densifying neighborhood network of schools and colleges, including St Marys University of Texas and Our Lady of the Lake College.
