1968 Map of Manor
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Southern Pacific railroad corridor anchors this transition between rural farmland and the expanding Austin corporate boundary. Centered on the town of Manor, the map reveals a landscape defined by deeply cut waterways like Gilleland Creek and Wilbarger Creek. A significant portion of the western territory is dominated by the waters of Decker Lake, with its associated Decker Substa and radio infrastructure, including the Radio Towers (KHFI). The survey captures a distinct social landscape of family-named road networks like Fuchs Grove Road and Blake Manor Road, alongside numerous rural burial grounds such as Rosehill Cem and Jones Cemeteries. These features, coupled with the Oak Crest Manor Nursing Home, illustrate the community development of eastern Travis County during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
