1958 hi-resolution image of travis county...you can get down the street level...i was able to find several houses ive lived in over the years in hyde park, cherrywood, enfield, ect. super-cool to a take a scroll-tour around town. if you live in austin you would probably enjoy this. recognized tons of stuff that was there when i moved here but now long gone. this was before longhorn dam on the eastside was created to form town lake and you can see the low-water crossing right above where shoal creek dumps out. and lots of sand bars/beach areas. anyone remember that bar "the cedar door" when it was just north of the river and a block east of lamar? you can see that in the photo, looking much like it did when i went there in the 90's. https://www.arcgis.com/home/webscen...8fG68tOagIviF62LFtoLGWxP19U5-csYMLXr_BGaddYfE
True, but it was okay since that animal control lady (actress from a League of Their Own) shot Phoebe in the butt with a tanquilizer dart.
There's a general consensus about a thing, you disagree vehemently with it, and *I'm* the contrarian?
I am trying to determine the methodology that they used to create the various regions/groups/clusters. If it is proximity to economic centers, then I have somebody living in Wharton more likely to go northeast to Houston to shop and/or work than to go Southwest to Victoria even though Wharton is in the Coastal Plains region/group/cluster with Victoria. If it is topography, then I don't know of that much difference from at least Sugar Land all the way to the area around Victoria. Quite flat with some creeks and rivers (Brazos, San Bernard, Colorado etc) for drainage. Yet they decided county lines would be used to create boundaries on the map rather than notable changes in topography. There could/would be differences in vegetation as one progresses from one region/group/cluster to another, but I would have that as gradual rather than something that can be determined at county lines. if it is weather details/patterns, then i would think that Beasley (Fr Bend County) and Wharton (Wharton County) would have more in common since they are about 19 miles apart rather than Wharton and Victoria which are 67 miles apart. Yet Beasley and Wharton are in different regions/clusters/groups. The South-Central region/group/cluster appears to include Fayette County (La Grange). I haven't been to La Grange in a long time, but I think that grouping them in the Central Texas region/group/cluster with Austin makes more sense than going further to San Antonio. There are probably some other odd things about the way that they assembled the regions/groups/clusters, but will leave it for others to mention.
