1965 Map of Austin

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Barren River Lake dominates the central landscape of this mid-1960s survey, its winding branches reaching into the deep hollows of Barren and Allen counties. The map reflects a rural economy in transition, where numerous Oil Wells are scattered across the western uplands near Cedar Springs. The distribution of local landmarks like Cedar Cross Ch, Hopewell Ch, and Corinth Ch indicates a dispersed population typical of the region before the consolidation seen in the Austin-Tracy Sch at Austin. The intricate shoreline of the reservoir is marked by recreational access points, including the Austin Boat Ramp and Browns Ford Boat Ramp, illustrating the transformation of the Barren River valley into a managed waterway. Traditional landforms like Manley Ridge and the prominent Capitol Hill remain key navigational points above the inundated creek mouths of Walnut Creek and Peter Creek.
