1968 Map of Mansfield Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The winding waters of Lake Travis dominate this 1968 landscape, following the completion of the Mansfield Dam and the creation of a massive recreational and power network. The map captures the early development of lakeside communities like Jonestown, Lago Vista, and Volente, alongside established rural landmarks. Family history remains visible at the Simpson Cem near Arkansas Bend and the Teck Cem tucked away inland. The geography is defined by a series of dramatic peninsulas and sheltered inlets, including Hudson Bend and Anderson Bend, while the lower reach shows the Colorado River Lake Austin below the dam. Inland from the shoreline, the topography rises sharply toward Post Oak Ridge and Bald Mountain, punctuated by numerous named hollows and several small aviation facilities such as the Bar K Landing Strip.
