2019 Map of Travis Peak

About this map

Lake Travis and the winding course of the Colorado River dominate the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the terrain rises sharply into the Balcones Escarpment. This 2019 survey captures the development at Lago Vista alongside the high, dissected plateaus of the Texas Hill Country. The map reveals a transition from suburban expansion near the water to the traditional ranching lands and rugged summits like Boultinghouse Mtn, Bald Mtn, and the eponymous Travis Peak. Significant family and local history is preserved in the locations of the Heine Cem near Tater Hill and the Hansel Cem along Sulphur Cr. The complex drainage network, including Cow Cr and Post-Oak Cr, illustrates the deeply eroded limestone topography that defines this section of the Burnet and Travis county line.
