1968 Map of Jollyville

About this map

The Jollyville Plateau dominates this late-1960s landscape north of Austin, where the transitions of the Texas Hill Country meet the expanding suburban frontier. Centered on the community of Jollyville, the map records several family-named burial grounds including Pond Springs Cem, Rhodes Cem, and Jollyville Cem, serving as a vital resource for genealogical research. The Southern Pacific railroad cuts through the northeastern corner near Rutledge, while the emergence of the Balcones Country Club and early residential subdivisions in purple tint signal the region's rapid development. The topography is defined by the steep canyons of West Bull Creek and Cypress Creek, flowing toward the western edge where the map captures a portion of Lake Travis. Unique local landmarks like the State Hog Farm and the Drive-in Theater appear alongside historical transit corridors like Anderson Mill Road and Spicewood Springs Road.
