About this map

The winding Colorado River carves a complex path through the Central Texas landscape, defining the rural character of southeastern Travis County in the late 1960s. The river creates dramatic oxbows at Hornsby Bend and Hunter Bend, surrounded by fertile bottomlands and small family-named settlements. This area is notably dense with burial sites, preserving significant local lineage through the Comanche Cemeteries and several smaller family grounds like Puckett Cem and Haynie Cem.

Transitioning away from the river, the landscape shifts toward the uplands of Texas Hill and the drainages of Onion Creek and Dry Creek. Linear developments follow historic tracks such as Hunter Bend Road and Caldwell Lane, linking communities like Webberville and Garfield. The presence of the Garfield Pumping Sta and various pipelines indicates the infrastructure supporting the region's mid-century growth while maintaining its agricultural foundations.
