1995 Map of San Marcos North

About this map

The Blanco River snakes through this Central Texas landscape, defining the corridor between the expanding communities of San Marcos and Kyle. The transition from the Edwards Plateau into the Blackland Prairie is visible in the network of spring-fed waters, most notably where Sink Creek feeds into Spring Lake. The map details a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, from the San Marcos Baptist Academy to the historic San Vincente Cem and Kyle Cem. Infrastructure like the San Marcos Municipal Airport and numerous Gravel Pits along the riverbanks suggest the region's mid-century industrial and transportation development. The grid of downtown San Marcos, centered around the Courthouse and streets like Hopkins St, contrasts with the winding canyon of Purgatory Creek to the west.
