About this map

Leander and Cedar Park anchor this residential and suburban landscape as it appeared in the first decade of the 21st century. The map reveals a complex network of water management features, specifically a series of numbered Soil Conservation Service reservoirs and dams that follow the paths of Brushy Creek and its many tributaries, including Spanish Oak Creek and Block House Creek. This hydrological engineering underscores the suburban development patterns pushing into the hill country north of Austin.

Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds such as Bagdad Cemetery, Wells Cemetery, and Upchurch Cemetery, which sit alongside newer infrastructure. Small aviation facilities like Kittie Hill Airport and Pegasus Place Airstrip are scattered through the area, while smaller communities like Walkerton and White Stone appear along the U. S. Route 183 corridor. The expansion of major thoroughfares like Ronald W Reagan Blvd and E Crystal Falls Pkwy signals the rapid growth characterizing this era.
