About this map

Post Oak Ridge and the surrounding Hill Country highlands dominate this 1966 topographic survey where the borders of Travis, Burnet, and Williamson counties converge. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks, including Cow Creek and Sulphur Creek, which feed into the northern reaches of Lake Travis. Evidence of the area's mid-century rural character is visible in the network of light-duty and unimproved roads that navigate between prominent peaks such as Boultinghouse Mountain and Bald Mountain.

Genealogists may find interest in the Hensel Cem located near Spring Br, while the presence of several Quarries and Gravel Pits points to the local extractive industry of the era. The mapping of Travis Peak itself, along with family-named landmarks like Tater Hill and Hickory Pass, provides a clear view of the territorial organization before more recent suburban expansion into these Texas highlands.
