About this map

Elgin and the surrounding Travis and Bastrop County line country are captured here at a moment of modern transition. The map reveals the interplay between historical rural foundations and newer residential development, with the established settlement of Littig positioned south of the major transportation corridors. The landscape is defined by its drainages, including Cottonwood Creek, Willow Creek, and the extensive reaches of Wilbarger Creek, which cut through the undulating terrain.

Local history is preserved in a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Schiller Cemetery, Hog Eye Cemetery, and Youngs Prairie Cemetery. These sites, along with landmarks like Baker's Place Airport and Wilbern Spring, provide anchor points for genealogists and researchers tracking the evolution of this region from its agricultural roots toward its place in the modern Central Texas corridor.
