1986 Map of Bee Cave
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Bee Cave Road and the winding course of the Colorado River anchor this mid-1980s topographic study of the Texas Hill Country west of Austin. The landscape is characterized by the transition from rural ranching roots to residential growth, visible in the contrast between the sprawling Shield Ranch and the developing community of Lakeway. The topography is defined by deep incisions like Hickson Hollow and Harrison Hollow that drain toward Lake Travis and Lake Austin. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds, including White Rock Cem and Bee Cave Cem, while the Trading Post near the junction of Barton Creek and Little Barton Creek marks a traditional point of commerce. Public spaces like Commons Ford Metropolitan Park and Selma Hughes Park line the riverbanks, showcasing the area's mid-century shift toward recreation and conservation.
