About this map

Pflugerville and the small agricultural communities of eastern Travis County appear here during a period of steady rural character just before the massive suburban expansion of the late 20th century. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Wilbarger Creek and Gilleland Creek, with the Missouri Kansas Texas railroad line cutting through the western edge of the quadrangle. Significant cultural landmarks like Germania Hall and Richland Ch anchor the local social geography between family-named thoroughfares such as Priem Lane and Bohls Road.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds, including the New Sweden Cem and Pfluger Cem. The map captures the distinct Scandinavian and German heritage of the area through place names like New Sweden and Cele. The border between Williamson Co and Travis Co is clearly delineated across the northern section, following property lines and the natural flow of Brushy Creek.
