1987 Map of Jollyville

About this map

Jollyville Plateau serves as the topographic foundation for this 1980s look at the rapid suburbanization north of Austin. The map captures a moment of significant transition where traditional landmarks like the Pond Springs Cem and Oak Grove Ch stand adjacent to burgeoning residential developments and modern campuses such as Westwood High Sch. The intersection of nature and infrastructure is evident along Bull Creek and Cypress Creek, where established parks like Cypress Creek County Park and Bull Creek District Park provide a buffer against the expanding street networks of Cedar Park and Jollyville. The Southern Pacific rail line cuts through the northern landscape, passing the Leander Rehabilitation Center, while the Capitol of Texas Highway anchors the southern transit corridor through the hills.
