1986 Map of Mansfield Dam

About this map

Mansfield Dam and its adjacent Powerplant anchor this 1986 survey of the twisting waterways of Lake Travis and the upper reaches of Lake Austin. The map details the mid-1980s expansion of the Austin Corporate Boundary into the surrounding hills and peninsulas, where planned developments like Lago Vista and Lakeway intersect with older rural landmarks. Genealogists will find notable sites such as Simpson Cem near Arkansas Bend and the Teck Cem located inland from Graveyard Point. The topography is defined by deep incisions like Pool Canyon and Devils Hollow that feed into the major reservoir arms. Historical transportation routes, including Boggy Ford Road and Lohmans Crossing Road, connect the established settlements of Jonestown and Volente, illustrating the suburban transition of the Texas Hill Country during this era.
