About this map

The Colorado River dominates this modern topographical study, carving a complex sequence of peninsulas and deep inlets including the Sandy Creek Arm and Cypress Creek Arm. The landscape is characterized by high-density residential development along the shoreline, where established communities like Lago Vista, Jonestown, and Lakeway have shaped the limestone hills of Travis County. Smaller enclaves such as Point Venture, Hudson Bend, and Volente are situated along the water's edge, highlighting the post-war suburban transformation of the Texas Hill Country.

Local history is anchored by long-standing landmarks including Simpson Cem, Teck Cem, and Hudson Bend Cem. Significant elevation changes are marked by Bald Mtn and Comanche Peak, overlooking a network of named hollows like Gragg Hollow and Fisher Hollow that drain into the river. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Lago Vista TX/Rusty Allen Airport and the complex road networks of FM 1431 and RM 620 N, while the Columbarium At Saint Mary Catholic Church serves as a contemporary religious landmark.
