2019 Map of Mansfield Dam

About this map

Mansfield Dam controls the waters of the Colorado River at the southern edge of this 2019 survey, forming the extensive reach of Lake Travis and Lake Austin below. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Defeat Hollow and Collier Hollow, which define the residential expansion of communities such as Lakeway and Lago Vista. Local history is anchored by the Simpson Cem near Arkansas Bend and the Teck Cem further south. The map illustrates the complex shoreline of the Highland Lakes, where peninsulas like Hudson Bend and Graveyard Point are surrounded by various inlets including Hatter Cove and Cunningham Cove. Elevations rise sharply at Post Oak Ridge and Bald Mtn, overlooking the many arms and bends that have come to define this central Texas landscape.
