About this map

The Colorado River snakes through the center of this landscape, creating dramatic oxbows and landforms along the boundary between Travis and Bastrop counties. The settlement of Webberville occupies the northwestern corner, while the smaller community of Utley sits further east near the Utley Airport. The river’s influence on the local topography is evident in the naming of several distinctive meanders, including Pope Bend, Hemphill Bend, and Wilbargers Bend.

Away from the water, the terrain rises toward Caldwell Knob and flattens into the Hemphill Prairie. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Walker-Watson Cemetery south of the river, while the modern infrastructure is defined by routes such as FM 969 and the southern cluster of Wyldwood. The map also details numerous tributaries feeding the main river system, such as Wilbarger Creek and Cottonwood Cr, which have shaped the agricultural and residential patterns of this central Texas corridor.
