1967 Map of Terrell Wells

About this map

The Medina River and Leon Creek converge in this southern portion of Bexar County, defining a landscape where the urban expansion of San Antonio meets industrial and military infrastructure. In the northern reaches, Lackland AFB and Kelly Air Force Base anchor the local economy, while the Leon Creek Powerplant and various Gravel Pits indicate the area's mid-century utility. The map documents suburban growth in neighborhoods like Terrell Wells and Palo Alto Heights, alongside established religious and educational centers including St Leonards Ch and McCollum High Sch. Farther south, the terrain opens into agricultural and riparian corridors, featuring landmarks like Garza Crossing and the Hernandez Cem, illustrating the transition from dense city blocks to the rural river bottomlands of the Medina River.
