About this map

The University of Texas and the core of the state capital dominate the western edge of this survey, revealing a landscape where institutional history meets mid-century suburban expansion. The capital’s legacy is preserved in several landmark areas, including the Sixth Street Historic District, the Rainey Street Historic District, and the State Cemetery of Texas. To the east, the vast footprint of the Robert Mueller Municipal Airport and the Morris Williams Golf Course define large tracts of open land amid the growing residential grid.

Further north, smaller, older clusters such as Sprinkle and Fiskville Cemetery provide a contrast to the dense commercial developments around Airport Blvd and the North I-35 Service Road. The terrain is shaped by the winding courses of Walnut Creek and Boggy Creek, which flow toward the Colorado River at the Town Lake Dam. From the historic Moore-Hancock Farmstead to the modern utility of the City of Austin Electric Utility, the map details the infrastructure of a rapidly evolving Texas city.
