2019 Map of Smithville

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through Bastrop County, anchoring the landscape around Smithville. This modern survey illustrates the town's position at the intersection of river and rail, where Gazley Cr meets the main channel. To the northwest, the settlement of Alum Creek is defined by its namesake waterway and the prominent elevation of Loma Alta. Genealogists will find interest in the documented locations of Gazley Cem and Powell Cem, while the rugged river geography is further detailed at Kennedy Bluffs and the large meander of Hardeman Bend. The topography shifts from the river bottomlands at David Bottom to the upland forests near Buescher Lake. Transportation infrastructure is well-established, featuring the Smithville Crawford Municipal Airport and a dense network of local routes like Alum Creek Rd and FM 2571 Farm-to-Market Rd serving the outlying Crafts Prairie area.
