1987 Map of Pflugerville West

About this map

The northern reaches of Austin and the growing community of Pflugerville meet at the Williamson Co and Travis Co line during this 1987 update. The map documents an era of suburban expansion and institutional development, dominated by the sprawling University of Texas Balcones Research Center in the southwest and the Austin Executive Airpark further east. Transportation corridors like the Missouri Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads cut through the landscape, alongside a maturing road network featuring Howard Lane and Palmer Lane. Smaller, established locales such as Merrelltown, McNeil, and Coxville are still visible amidst new subdivisions and industrial sites like the Filtration Plant. Significant local landmarks include Capitol Memorial Park and several education centers, including Pflugerville High School, illustrating the shift from rural holdings to a structured metropolitan fringe.
