1967 Map of Pace Bend

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The winding curves of the Colorado River and the newly formed fingers of Lake Travis define this Central Texas landscape at a time of significant transition. The map captures the rugged shoreline where the river meets the lake at a normal pool elevation of 681 feet, creating dramatic peninsulas like Pace Bend and Muleshoe Bend. Historically significant sites, including the Post Oak Bend Cem and Haynie Flat Cem, are preserved on higher ground above the inundation zones. The presence of Old Ferry Road and multiple private runways like the Paleface Landing Strip suggests a shift from traditional river crossings to modern ranching and recreational accessibility. The convergence of the Pedernales River and Lake Travis near the southern edge highlights the complex hydrology of the Edwards Plateau during the late 1960s.
