About this map

San Antonio expands southward in this early 1990s study, where established neighborhoods like Columbia Heights and Terrell Wells meet the industrial and military infrastructure of Bexar County. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling presence of Lackland AFB and Kelly Air Force Base, buffered by large-scale utilities such as the Leon Creek Powerplant and an extensive Sewage Disposal system.

South of the urban core, the terrain transitions into a patchwork of rural and educational landmarks. The Palo Alto Community College and South San Antonio High Sch West Campus stand near historical sites like Loma China Cem and the Hernandez Cem. The hydrology of the region is clearly defined by the winding paths of the Medina River and Leon Creek, leading toward the large water bodies of Mitchell Lake and Canvasback Lake, while the Missouri Pacific RR and Southern Pacific RR lines continue to serve the area's logistical needs.
