2019 Map of Altair

About this map

The settlement of Altair serves as the focal point of this Colorado County landscape, situated at the junction of Main St and Columbus St. The geography is dominated by the meandering course of the Colorado River, which carves a wide path across the northern and eastern portions of the quadrangle. This area is characterized by a complex network of waterways and low-lying features, including Muddy Lake and Heller Lake, alongside numerous tributaries like McKenzie Cr and Skull Cr. To the southwest, the presence of the Leher Canal indicates a managed approach to the region's water resources for agricultural or industrial use. The map also documents a dense grid of rural roads and family-named routes such as Thomas Dryer Rd and Pecan Valley Rd, reflecting the established land divisions and ranching connections of this Texas river valley region.
