1964 Map of San Marcos North

About this map

Southwest Texas State University and the downtown district of San Marcos dominate the southern portion of this landscape, where the San Marcos River and Spring Lake emerge from the Balcones Escarpment. The 1994 map revisions highlight the rapid suburban expansion north of the city center, specifically the emergence of several Mobile Home Park locations along the corridor toward Kyle. This growth contrasts with the established institutional presence of the San Marcos Baptist Academy and the clustering of community sites like San Marcos Cemetery and the Armory. To the north, the Blanco River winds toward Fivemile Dam Park, passing under Limekiln Road. Local history is preserved in the location of the San Vincente Church and its associated cemetery, as well as the transition from industrial Gravel Pit sites to recreational greenspace.
