1968 Map of Buda

About this map

Onion Creek and its many tributaries, including Bear Creek and Garlic Creek, carve through the rolling landscape of this Central Texas corridor. The settlement of Buda serves as a focal point, showing a mix of established community landmarks like Antioch Ch and Allen Cem alongside mid-century developments like the Mobile Home Park. Revisions from the late 1980s highlight the suburban expansion of Austin and Kyle beginning to press into the rural areas of Hays and Travis counties. Notable educational and social institutions, such as Science Hall and the Central Texas Childrens Home, are situated among a landscape still heavily defined by resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Gravel Pits scattered near the creek beds. Older rural communities like Turnersville and Goforth remain distinct, connected by a network of named roads such as Old Lockhart Road.
