1991 Map of Van Raub

About this map

Fair Oaks Ranch and Leon Springs anchor this 1991 survey of the Texas Hill Country north of San Antonio, showing a landscape defined by dramatic limestone ridges and narrow creek valleys. The area transitions from the suburban growth at Fair Oaks Ranch to the rugged terrain surrounding Cross Mountain and the deep incisions of Cibolo Creek and Leon Creek. Historic transportation routes like the Boerne Stage Road follow the natural topography, winding through settlements such as Van Raub and Grey Forest. Local genealogy and land use are evident in features like Robles Cem and the Veterans Hall, while the eastern edge is dominated by the Camp Stanley Military Reservation. The map captures a moment of modern development, including Interstate 10, superimposed over an older network of gravel pits, springs like Morales Spring, and family-named landmarks like Mc Farland Hill.
