About this map

The Colorado River and its massive impoundments, including Lake Buchanan and Lake Lyndon B Johnson, dominate the eastern landscape of the Texas Hill Country in this mid-1970s revision. This area highlights a critical period of regional development where traditional ranching settlements like Castell and Luckenbach exist alongside growing recreation hubs at Inks Lake State Park and Longhorn Cavern State Park.

To the south, the Pedernales River winds past the L B J Ranch and the L B J National Historical Site, marking the era's significant presidential connection to the region. The map captures the rugged interior terrain through landmarks like Enchanted Rock and the Riley Mountains, while the Southern Pacific railroad line provides a window into the industrial transport network connecting towns such as Llano and Burnet.
