1958 Map of Saspamco

About this map

The San Antonio River meanders across this late-1950s landscape, serving as a geographic anchor for small settlements like Graytown and Saspamco. The industrial character of the region is evidenced by the Sandpits near the riverbanks and the presence of the Southern Pacific railroad, which provided the necessary transit for local resources. To the east, the Bexar Co and Wilson Co border bisects the rural terrain, where the small communities of Calaveras and Canada Verde are situated along the tributaries of Calaveras Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the map identifies key community pillars such as Guadalupe Ch, Conception Ch, and several rural Cem sites. The landscape transitions from the river bottomlands to more broken country toward the south, where Padre Mariolo Creek flows through the brush and farmland.
