1986 Map of Signal Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Friday Mountain and the rolling terrain of the Edwards Plateau dominate this mid-1980s topographic survey along the Travis Co Hays Co line. The landscape is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Slaughter Creek, Bear Creek, and Little Bear Creek, which carve through the limestone geography south of the emerging Austin city limits. This era shows the early stages of suburban expansion with developments along Circle Drive and Thomas Springs Rd, yet the map retains significant evidence of its rural roots. Researchers can locate several family-named landmarks and community hubs, such as Oliver Cem, Johnson Cem, and Friendship Ch near the Hollow. Industrial activity is evident through numerous Gravel Pits and a Quarry, while the Signal Hill Radio Tower serves as a prominent navigational landmark for the region.
