2022 Map of Pace Bend

About this map

The Colorado River and Lake Travis define the winding, peninsula-heavy landscape of this region where Travis and Burnet counties meet. Modern residential developments like Lago Vista, Briarcliff, and Point Venture dominate the shorelines, yet the map preserves numerous small family burial grounds that hint at the area's rural ancestry. Genealogical sites such as Haynie Flat Cem, Singleton Family Cem, and Maxey Cem are interspersed among the contemporary street grids. The topography is shaped by dramatic river bends, including the namesake Pace Bend and the nearby Muleshoe Bend, creating a complex network of inlets and hollows. Transport in the area is a mix of aviation at Spicewood Airport and a dense web of local roads serving the lakeside communities, while the Pedernales River flows in from the southwest to join the primary waterway.
