2016 Map of Shingle Hills

About this map

The Colorado River and the southern reaches of Lake Travis dominate the northern landscape of this region, where the residential development of Lakeway meets the rising terrain of the Texas Hill Country. To the south, the eponymous Shingle Hills rise above a complex network of waterways, including Bee Cr and Fitzhugh Cr, which carve through the limestone landscape toward Barton Creek Springs. The map documents a blend of established ranching heritage and modern aviation, as seen at the Alexander Ranch Airport and Ohho Airport. Local history is preserved at the Peryear Cem, while the rugged relief is marked by features like Noack Hill and the deep cuts of Hickson Hollow. Numerous springs, including Hamilton Spring and Bell Spring, point to the hydrologic importance of this area along the Travis and Hays county line.
