1967 Map of Shingle Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The boundary between Travis Co and Hays Co runs through this dissected upland landscape in the late 1960s, a region defined by the winding drainages of the Colorado River watershed. The northern edge of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling reach of Lake Travis, where the inundated valley floor meets the steep topography of the Shingle Hills. This era shows a transition toward modern infrastructure with prominent pipelines and a radio tower established alongside older land-use markers like the Peryear Cem. Several watercourses, including Barton Creek, Bee Creek, and Little Barton Creek, carve through the limestone terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped the settlement of the Texas Hill Country. A small gravel pit and the Shield Ranch Landing Strip indicate the localized industrial and private aviation activity of the period.
