2016 Map of Austin West

About this map

Lake Austin winds through the limestone hills of the Colorado River valley, anchoring a landscape defined by suburban expansion and preserved natural landmarks. In the eastern portion of the map, the urban edge of Austin meets the high ground of the Jollyville Plateau and the iconic overlook at Mt Bonnell. The terrain is deeply dissected by drainages such as Barton Creek and Bee Creek, where the hydrology of the Edwards Aquifer emerges through numerous named outlets including Barton Springs, Eliza Spring, and Old Mill Spring. Residential communities like West Lake Hills, Rollingwood, and Lost Creek are mapped alongside local history markers such as the McNeil Cem and Tucker Cem. The presence of the Emma Long Motocross Park and the Lamar Boulevard Bridge over Lady Bird Lake reflects the area's transition into a modern recreational and transit hub.
