2012 Map of Shingle Hills

About this map

Lake Travis defines the northern edge of this landscape, its fingers reaching into the surrounding Texas hill country where residential development meets established ranchlands. The namesake Shingle Hills and the prominent Dakota Mtn rise above a complex network of waterways, including Hamilton Creek and Bee Creek. This 2012 survey captures a specific moment of expansion in Travis County, as new residential streets like Rough Hollow Drive and Highlands Boulevard appear alongside long-standing local landmarks. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Peryear Cem situated west of Fitzhugh Creek, while the presence of the Alexander Ranch Airport and multiple natural water sources like Barton Creek Springs and Hamilton Spring illustrate the varied land use of the era.
