Austin and County Government
Austin is the county seat and state capital. State government, county offices, the University of Texas at Austin, hospitals, technology companies, and cultural institutions are concentrated in the city.
Interstate 35, U.S. Route 183, and State Highway 71 are major metropolitan transportation corridors.
Pflugerville, Manor, and Eastern Growth
Pflugerville and Manor are rapidly developing communities north and east of Austin. Housing, schools, logistics, industrial facilities, and remaining agricultural land occur together.
Municipal boundaries and development districts change and require current official maps for administrative or property work.
Lakeway, Bee Cave, and Western Hills
Lakeway and Bee Cave lie in the western hill and lake district. Residential areas, tourism, golf courses, and commerce occupy limestone terrain near Lake Travis.
Lake Travis and the Colorado River
Lake Travis and Mansfield Dam are about 13 miles northwest of Austin on the Colorado River, and the reservoir extends into Burnet County.
Fishing, boating, swimming, and lake tourism are common, but water levels, ramps, and navigation conditions require current official information.
Balcones Escarpment and Preserves
The Balcones Escarpment divides western limestone hills from lower eastern plains. Barton Creek, canyons, springs, and karst terrain shape western Austin’s landscape.
Balcones Canyonlands Preserve and other public conservation lands protect habitat and water resources. Current access rules should be checked before visiting.
Color Map
The color version separates Travis County from neighboring counties and helps show Austin, suburban cities, river, reservoirs, hills, plains, and preserves.
Black-and-White Map
The black-and-white map retains the county outline and selected place names for grayscale printing.
Outline Map
The outline version contains boundary lines without labels or fills, allowing custom notes and place names.
