About this map

Pflugerville and its surrounding agricultural landscape appear in the late 1980s as the Austin Corporate Boundary begins to edge into the rural stretches of Williamson and Travis counties. The landscape is defined by its deep roots in Central Texas farming, marked by family-named roads like Pfluger Lane, Weiss Lane, and Hodde Lane. Smaller outlying settlements such as New Sweden and Cele remain distinct, centered around community landmarks and rural schools.

Genealogical interest is found in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem, Pfluger Cem, and Prairie Hill Cem. Transportation patterns are anchored by the Missouri Pacific railroad corridor and local landmarks like Richland Hall and the Birds Nest Airport. The drainage patterns of Gilleland Creek and Wilbarger Creek provide a framework for the undulating terrain of this developing corridor.
