+ About this map
Lake LBJ is one of the Highland Lakes of the Texas Hill Country, a reservoir on the Colorado River formed by Wirtz Dam in 1951 and later renamed for President Lyndon B. Johnson. Unlike its neighbors, it is held at a nearly constant level, which has made its shoreline a favorite for waterfront homes in Kingsland, Granite Shoals, and Horseshoe Bay. The lake reaches 70 feet deep.
The depth contours show two rivers meeting underwater. The map traces the drowned channels of the Colorado and the Llano, which join at Kingsland and continue as a single winding thread toward Wirtz Dam, where the deepest water lies. Away from the channels, the contours spread into shallow flats and granite studded coves, the quiet backwaters that make the lake feel more like a neighborhood than a reservoir.
