1987 Map of Leander

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors the developing Hill Country landscape between the South Fork San Gabriel River and the Williamson and Travis County line. As the 1980s progressed, the transformation of small agricultural and quarrying communities like White Stone and Walkerton toward more modern residential patterns is evident. Long-standing local history is preserved at the Bagdad Cem and Wells Cem, while the rugged geography is defined by numerous seasonal waterways including Brushy Creek and Spanish Oak Creek. The presence of the Kittie Hill Airport and the Leander High Sch alongside older landmarks like the Davis Cem illustrates a community in transition. Extensive extraction sites, marked as Gravel Pits and a large Quarry, point to the industrial activity that helped shape the local economy during this era of growth.
