About this map

The expanding southwestern edge of Austin meets the rural Travis County landscape in this late 1960s survey. The Missouri Pacific railroad corridor serves as a central spine, passing through the settlement of Manchaca and the A F Siding. To the west, the terrain is defined by the winding paths of Williamson Creek, Slaughter Creek, and Bear Creek, where land remains largely open except for clustered communities like Kineheonville and Ford Oaks.

Institutional and educational landmarks are concentrated near the city limits, including St Edwards University and The Marbridge Sch. The map records several notable burial grounds such as Forest Oaks Memorial Park (Cem) and Chapel Hill Memorial Park (Cem), marking the transition from traditional rural cemeteries like Brown Cem to modern memorial parks as suburbanization moves south from the Southwood Shopping Center.
