About this map

Joint Base San Antonio Kelly Field and portions of Lackland AFB dominate the northwestern landscape of this Bexar County region, illustrating the deep military footprint on the outskirts of San Antonio. The area is a complex mix of institutional growth and older local landmarks, where suburban developments like Palo Alto Heights and Columbia Heights meet the educational campuses of Palo Alto College and Texas A and M University - San Antonio.

Tracing the waterways reveals a transition from industrial and military corridors to the more open terrain along the Medina River and Leon Creek. Genealogists will find interest in several small burial grounds, including the Lona China Cem and Hernandez Cem, which sit near modern landmarks like Ballasetal Lake and Hunters Pond. The presence of Horizon Airport and the intersection of SW Loop 410 with Poteet Jordanton Fwy highlights the area's role as a major transportation hub.
