1967 Map of San Antonio West

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Lackland Air Force Base and Kelly Air Force Base anchor the southwestern portion of this 1967 survey, illustrating the massive military presence that defined mid-century San Antonio. The landscape transitions from the dense urban grid of the city center to the sprawling institutional campuses of St Marys University and Our Lady of the Lake College. This era shows a community in heavy development, with the Wonderland Shopping Center and several drive-in theaters marking the shift toward car-centric suburban growth. Geologists and local historians can trace the course of Leon Creek as it winds past numerous Gravel Pits, a legacy of the area's industrial extraction. To the east, the historic foundations of the city are visible in the layout of the San Fernando Cem No 1 and the convergence of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific railroads.
