1959 Map of Lake Travis

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Lake Travis and the Colorado River corridor are captured here during a period of significant regional expansion, showing the transition from rural ranching tracts to suburban development. The landscape is defined by the winding waters of Lake Austin and the looming heights of Mount Bonnell and Cat Mountain. To the north, the Jollyville Plateau contains established community markers like the Jollyville Cem and Pond Springs, while the riverbanks feature recreation sites such as Camp Tom Wooten and Lakeland Park. In the city of Austin, the map identifies institutional landmarks including the Texas Confederate Home and the Camp Mabry Military Res. This survey documents the area before the full sprawl of modern suburbs, preserving the locations of many family-named ranches and early rural schools like the Pleasant Valley Sch and Eanes Sch.
