About this map

San Antonio expands westward in this study, where the urban grid meets significant military installations and academic institutions. The landscape is heavily influenced by the presence of Lackland Air Force Base and Kelly Air Force Base, which anchor the southwestern portion of the sheet near Kelly Field. These bases, alongside the Union Stock Yards and several Gravel Pits, highlight the industrial and defense-oriented economy that shaped the city's mid-century growth.

Educational and religious sites are densely clustered, featuring St Marys University, Our Lady of the Lake College, and the Peacock Military Academy. Waterways like Zarzamora Creek and Alazan Creek meander through residential neighborhoods, feeding into Woodlawn Lake and Elmendorf Lake. The transportation network is defined by the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads, which parallel major thoroughfares like Fredericksburg Road and Culebra Road.
