1966 Map of Austin West

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Colorado River and its winding canyon dominate this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the boundary between the growing capital city and the hills to the west. On the western shore, the developing communities of West Lake Hills and Rollingwood are etched into the terrain between Barton Creek and Bee Creek, while the north features the Jollyville Plateau. Within the city limits of Austin, the map documents significant social and institutional history, including the Texas Confederate Home and the Austin State Sch Annex near Camp Mabry Military Reservation. The transition of the river into Lake Austin and Town Lake via the Tom Miller Dam highlights the hydraulic engineering that shaped the modern city. Local landmarks like the Treaty Oak and numerous family cemeteries, including Breece Cem and McNeil Cem, provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
