About this map

Lake Lyndon B Johnson dominates this Central Texas landscape, where the Colorado River meets the confluence of Sandy Creek. The map documents a period of significant recreational and residential expansion along the water, particularly in Sunrise Beach Village and the developing clusters of Granite Shoals. These communities are defined by a network of private parks and landmarks, including East Bay Park, Sherwood Shores Park, and the Blue Lake Landing Strip.

Beyond the waterfront, the terrain rises into the Hardin Hills and toward Dunman Mountain at the border of Llano and Blanco Counties. Local heritage is preserved in several small burial grounds such as Sandy Mtn Cem and Wolf Crossing Cem, while the interior remains characterized by rugged draws like Hogpen Hollow and Ship Hollow. This survey captures the transition from traditional Texas hill country ranching toward a modern lakeside economy.
