1955 Map of Montopolis

About this map

The southeastern outskirts of Austin transition from suburban growth to a rural, creek-carved landscape along the Colorado River in the mid-1950s. The community of Montopolis serves as a central hub, flanked by the Austin Country Club and industrial elements like the Livestock Sales Barn and numerous Gravel Pits that suggest the era's physical expansion. South of the City Bdy, the terrain becomes defined by the winding paths of Onion Creek and Williamson Creek, where small settlements like Del Valle and Colton maintain their own local identities through landmarks such as Popham Sch and Salem Ch.
