1953 Map of Terrell Wells

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The southwest outskirts of San Antonio are defined by massive mid-century military installations and suburban expansion in this early 1950s record. Lackland AFB and Kelly Air Force Base dominate the northern landscape, while residential developments like Columbia Heights and Terrell Wells begin to infill the space between the city center and the agricultural reaches of the Medina River. The infrastructure of a growing Texas city is evident in the presence of the Leon Creek Power Plant and the intricate rail network of the Southern Pacific and Missouri Pacific lines.
