1968 Map of Mansfield Dam

About this map

Lake Travis dominates this late-1960s landscape, with its winding fingers carving deep into the Texas Hill Country terrain. The intricate shoreline creates distinct peninsulas like Hudson Bend and Arkansas Bend, where newer developments such as North Shore Acres and Lakeshore Ranch begin to appear alongside established landmarks. The engineering of Mansfield Dam and its powerhouse at the south end separates the reservoir from the lower-elevation Lake Austin, while aviation infrastructure like the Bar K Landing Strip and Lakeshore Ranch Landing Strip highlights the area's mid-century growth as a recreation and residential hub.
