About this map

Lackland Air Force Base and Kelly Air Force Base anchor the southwestern landscape of this western Bexar County study, illustrating the significant military footprint that helped shape the city's modern infrastructure. The dense residential and institutional grid of San Antonio is punctuated by historic Catholic educational centers such as Our Lady of the Lake University and St Marys University, alongside numerous parochial schools like St John Bosco Sch and Holy Cross High Sch.

Major transit arteries and the Southern Pacific rail line bisect neighborhoods, while the city's commercial and industrial legacy is visible at the Union Stock Yards and the newer Ingram Park Mall. Notable water features and recreation areas, including Elmendorf Lake, Woodlawn Lake, and Rodriguez Park, offer a counterpoint to the urban density. The presence of large-scale burial grounds, specifically San Fernando Cem No 1 and San Fernando Cem No 2, provides essential reference points for genealogists and local historians.
