About this map

The Colorado River carves deep, dramatic meanders through this landscape on the border of Travis and Bastrop counties, creating the prominent Hornsby Bend and Hunter Bend. These natural horseshoe turns dictated the early settlement patterns of communities like Webberville and Hornsby. The map reveals a high concentration of historical burial sites, including the Comanche Cemeteries and several family-named grounds such as Puckett Cem, Hunter Cem, and Woods Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this rural corridor.

Industrial and agricultural infrastructure is evident along the river and the rolling hills to the south. A large Gravel Pit occupies a bend in the river, while the Garfield Pumping Sta and various pipelines cross the terrain near Garfield. Transportation is defined by a network of family-named rural routes like Fallwell Lane, Meurer Lane, and Fagerquist Road, connecting scattered farmsteads across the Onion Creek and Maha Creek watersheds.
