The portrait sheet stretches north and south
The mapped city extends far above and below downtown, making the sheet noticeably taller than the nearly square 1889 and 1909 maps.
Red lines cross the printed street grid
A second red network runs through the central city and toward the edges. The color is visible, but the archived page does not identify its meaning.
The river and parks remain easy to follow
Green water and park shapes form a north-south chain through the otherwise close-set streets and subdivisions.
SAN ANTONIO / HISTORICAL CONTEXT
A city mapped through streets and institutions
The archived description identifies streets, blocks, public and private institutions, parks, cemeteries, the river, railroads, original city limits and subdivisions. The sheet layers those features across a much taller field than the two earlier San Antonio maps in this collection.
