2013 Map of Bee Cave

About this map

The Colorado River and its major impoundments, Lake Travis and Lake Austin, dominate this early 21st-century landscape west of Austin. Significant residential growth is evident in the incorporated communities of Lakeway and The Hills, where dense street networks and the Lakeway Airpark contrast with the rugged, undeveloped expanses of the Shield Ranch to the south. Numerous named hollows and hills, such as Spillman Hollow and Flint Rock Hill, reveal the complex topography of the Balcones Escarpment. Historical traces remain visible through small family burial grounds like Darter Cem and White Rock Cem, and the presence of a Trading Post near the village of Bee Cave. The map captures a moment when traditional ranching properties were increasingly interspersed with suburban development along corridors like Bee Cave Pkwy and Ranch Road 620 N.
