Webberville Camino Real Payroll Cache

Webberville sits on the historic Austin–Bastrop stretch of the Camino Real where travelers crossed the Colorado River floodplain east of Austin. The community was a stage stop and ferry crossing before railroads bypassed it. Central Texas treasure compilations and regional oral tradition describe unrecovered payroll chests and robbery loot buried along the old road between Austin and Bastrop — particularly near river crossings where wagons slowed. Webberville and nearby Union Hill appear in Hill Country treasure roundups as search areas. No authenticated find. Coordinates approximate downtown Webberville. Respect private property along the Colorado River bottomlands.
