About this map

The Colorado River meanders through this portion of Central Texas, creating deep loops such as Hornsby Bend and Hunter Bend. This 1968 landscape is defined by its agrarian roots and the transition from river-bottom farming to rural residential communities. The map documents several established settlements including Webberville, Garfield, and Hornsby, while recording a high concentration of family and community burial grounds like the Comanche Cemeteries, Woods Cem, and Ingram Cem.

Transport and utility infrastructure are prominent, with numerous rural lanes such as Fallwell Lane and Caldwell Lane serving the scattered homesteads. Industrial activity is visible in the form of several Gravel Pits and the Garfield Pumping Sta, alongside substantial pipelines traversing the county line between Travis Co and Bastrop Co. The numerous creeks, including Onion Creek and Gilleland Creek, highlight the drainage network feeding the Colorado during this era of rural development.
