1887 Map of Burnet

USGS Topo · Published 1887

About this map

Burnet serves as the central hub of this 1885 survey, situated at the headwaters of Hamilton Creek where the Austin and Northwestern Railroad terminates from the east. The landscape of the Texas Hill Country is defined by prominent elevations like Post Mountain and Potato Top Peak, while the Colorado River winds along the western boundary. This era precedes the massive dam projects that would later transform the river valley, showing the original course near Bluffton and Foremans.
