1968 Map of Buda

About this map

The town of Buda serves as a focal point in this Central Texas landscape, situated along the Missouri Pacific railroad as it stretches toward Kyle. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Onion Creek and its many tributaries, including Garlic Creek and Bear Creek. The map documents a period of emerging infrastructure, evidenced by the purple revisions showing new highway development and the Bunton Overpass. Local heritage is well-preserved through markers such as the Antioch Cem, Allen Cem, and Santa Cruz Ch. Small settlements and landmarks like Science Hall, Goforth, and Turnersville indicate a rural community structure that was beginning to interface with expanding transit corridors. Extensive Gravel Pits near the rail lines reflect the area's geological and industrial activity during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
