About this map

Marble Falls sits at the heart of a complex water management landscape, where the Colorado River is partitioned by significant engineering projects. The proximity of the Alvin Wirtz Dam and the Max Starcke Dam creates a chain of reservoirs including Lake Lyndon B Johnson, Lake Marble Falls, and the headwaters of Lake Travis. These controlled waters define the residential patterns of the area, supporting established communities like Meadowlakes, Cottonwood Shores, and the expansive developments at Horseshoe Bay.

Beyond the waterfront, the terrain is marked by distinctive geological features and rural landmarks. Granite Mountain and Slaughter Mountain rise above the river valley, while smaller family and community sites like Konvicka Cemetery and Fox Cemetery provide points of interest for genealogists. The map also captures local infrastructure ranging from the Marble Falls Post Office to specialized facilities like the C Taylor Rodeo Arena and the Slaughter Ranch Airport.
