About this map

The boundary between Williamson and Travis Counties serves as a central divide in this suburbanizing landscape north of Austin. The map documents a dense network of residential development and infrastructure, yet retains clear links to its rural past through sites like Bratton Cemetery and McNeil Cemetery. Large institutional footprints are evident, including the University of Phoenix-Austin Campus and the Texas Culinary Academy, illustrating the area's shift toward a service-oriented economy.

Hydrological features such as Walnut Creek, Gilleland Creek, and Harris Branch weave through established neighborhoods like Wells Branch and Pflugerville. The presence of large cemeteries and memorial parks, such as Capital Memorial Park, alongside the rail-influenced settlement of McNeil, provides a detailed record of local genealogy and land use. This survey captures the transition from small rural communities like Dessau to the interconnected metropolitan corridor of Round Rock.
