Alamo Layout and Points of Interest – 1836 Battle Map

The Battle of the Alamo was a thirteen-day siege fought from February 23 to March 6, 1836, at the Alamo Mission in San Antonio de Béxar. Texan defenders led by James Bowie and William B. Travis held out against the much larger Mexican Army commanded by General Antonio López de Santa Anna. The siege ended when Mexican forces overran the fort, making the Alamo one of the most iconic last stands in American history.

Historical Context The fall of the Alamo became a rallying cry for Texan independence. Though a tactical defeat, the sacrifice of the defenders galvanized support for the Texas Revolution and directly influenced the campaign that culminated in victory at San Jacinto weeks later.

Points of interest are annotated, including the documented locations where the bodies of Travis, Bowie, and Crockett were found, providing a precise visual reference of the fort’s interior during the siege.
