1992 Map of Terrell Wells

About this map

San Antonio expands southward in this early 1990s revision, where the urban grid of Terrell Wells and Palo Alto Heights meets the riparian corridors of the Medina River and Leon Creek. The map documents a diverse institutional landscape, from the historic San Jose mission area to the modern campus of Palo Alto Community College. The northern half is dominated by significant military infrastructure at Kelly Air Force Base and Lackland AFB, while the south retains a more open character defined by the Southern Pacific tracks and numerous water bodies like Mitchell Lake. Local genealogists will find several burial sites noted, including the Lona China Cem and Hernandez Cem. The presence of gravel pits and sewage disposal facilities alongside established schools like McCollum High Sch illustrates the complex land-use patterns on the city's periphery during this era.
