2013 Map of Lake Bastrop

About this map

Camp Swift dominates the central landscape of this Bastrop County survey, reflecting the area's twentieth-century transition from rural farmland to a significant military and recreational footprint. The expansive waters of Lake Bastrop and smaller bodies like Tuck Lake and Sanders Lake highlight the managed water resources of the region. This 2013 edition illustrates the persistent rural character of settlements like Sayersville and Phelan, even as modern residential clusters such as Swiftex and Pine Hills expand. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Colorado River, where prominent landforms like Powell Bend, Reed Bend, and Reids Bnd mark the river's path. Local road networks, including Big Sandy Rd and Old Sayers Rd, connect these scattered communities, while the presence of Oak Hill Cemetery Rd serves as a touchstone for those researching local family history and ancestral land use.
