About this map

The limestone uplands of the Texas Hill Country define this mid-1960s landscape, where the Burnet and Williamson county lines converge with Travis County. Significant relief is evident across the central portion of the sheet, marked by summits like Boultinghouse Mountain, Bald Mountain, and Chalk Knob. The drainage pattern consists of steep-walled valleys such as Flatrock Hollow and Devils Hollow feeding into the winding path of Cow Creek.

Evidence of early rural life and family legacies is preserved in labels for Travis Peak and the small settlement of Brewer near the northern boundary. Genealogists can locate the Hensel Cem near the southern reaches of Sulphur Creek, while the southern margin captures the winding shoreline and indented boundaries of Lake Travis. The landscape is further characterized by the long plateau of Post Oak Ridge and scattered extraction sites including several Quarries and a Gravel Pit.
