1982 Map of Bastrop

About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through this central Texas landscape, creating the pronounced Haupt Bend and the Red Bluffs before flowing past Bastrop. The town's late-twentieth-century layout is detailed alongside the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line, which served as a primary transportation artery for the region. To the east, the terrain rises into the distinctive pine-covered hills of Bastrop State Park, while the southern reaches open into the agricultural expanses of Hills Prairie and Crafts Prairie. This survey is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous rural burial sites including Burleson Cem, Trigg Cem, and Higgins Cem. Small community centers are anchored by local landmarks such as Antioch Ch and Hill Prairie Ch, reflecting the dispersed settlement patterns that characterize the area outside the main township.
