About this map

Columbus serves as the focal point of this Colorado County landscape, situated at a major bend of the Colorado River. The town's grid is dense with named streets like Crockett St and Montezuma St, reflecting a well-established settlement pattern that transitions into the neighboring community of Glidden to the west. The river’s influence is pervasive, defining local geography through features such as River Field and numerous tributaries including Cummins Creek and Ratliff Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the documentation of the Gay Hill Cem and Brune Cem, which anchor the rural surroundings alongside the north-south corridor of Texas Ave. The southern reaches of the map show the modernization of the local infrastructure, notably the Robert R Wells Jr Airport, while the legacy of earlier transportation is preserved in the location of the State Highway 3 Bridge.
