About this map

The eastern half of Austin and its maturing suburbs are captured here during a period of significant urban density. The landscape is defined by its educational and cultural institutions, ranging from the sprawling campus of The Univ of Texas at Austin to smaller religious and technical schools like the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary and ITT Technical Institute-Austin. The city's historical memory is preserved in a dense network of burial grounds, including the prominent Texas State Cem, Oakwood Cem, and Evergreen Cem.

Transportation infrastructure dominates the eastern corridor, where the Colorado River and Lady Bird Lake provide a southern boundary for neighborhoods like Pershing and Abercrombie. The map illustrates the complex intersection of major highways like Interstate 35 and Us HWY 183 alongside newer transit developments like the Metro Rail. To the east, the terrain transitions toward more industrial and utility-focused areas near Smoot and the Bud Dryden Airport.
