About this map

Lake Travis and the winding Colorado River dominate this Central Texas landscape, where the water carves deep meanders around landforms like Pace Bend, Muleshoe Bend, and Gloster Bend. This 2010 survey shows the area’s transition into a residential and recreational corridor, marked by the village of Briarcliff and the infrastructure of the Austin Air Ranch Airport.

Genealogists and local historians can find several legacy landmarks among the modern developments, including the Post Oak Bend Cemetery, Haynie Flat Cemetery, and Fall Creek Cemetery. The convergence of the Pedernales River with the Colorado is a focal point of the terrain, while the naming of Old Ferry Rd suggests the historical transportation network that existed before modern bridges and roads like Haynie Flat Rd reshaped travel through the Hill Country.
