1967 Map of Pace Bend

About this map

Lake Travis dominates the topography of western Travis and Burnet Counties, as the Colorado River winds through a series of dramatic meanders. This 1967 field-checked survey illustrates the transition of the landscape into a recreational and residential corridor during the late 1960s. The serpentine shoreline creates distinctive features like Muleshoe Bend, Gloster Bend, and Pace Bend, while the convergence of the Pedernales River near Lick Creek marks the southern reach of the sheet.
