About this map

The Colorado River defines the southern reach of this East Austin landscape, where the urban grid of Austin meets established residential pockets like Pershing, Smoot, and Abercrombie. This 2022 survey documents a dense concentration of academic and civic institutions, ranging from The University of Texas at Austin and Huston Tillotson University to specialized centers like the Academy of Oriental Medicine. The map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies numerous burial grounds across the city, including the expansive Oakwood Cem, the historically significant Evergreen Cem, and the smaller Fiskville Cem.

Hydrography is dominated by the winding paths of Walnut Cr and Little Walnut Cr flowing toward the river, while Waller Cr and Shoal Cr navigate the more developed western sections. Transportation infrastructure is represented by the major corridors of Research Blvd and Ed Bluestein Blvd, providing a look at the modern connectivity of this state capital region. From the Bud Dryden Airport in the southeast to the Austin State Hospital Cem, the map serves as a contemporary record of a city shaped by its river and its institutional history.
