About this map

Cap Mountain and the Riley Mountains dominate this 2019 survey of the Texas Hill Country, where deep drainages like Devils Hollow and Salt Hollow carve into the limestone plateau. The topography is defined by prominent peaks including Dancer Peak and Packsaddle Mtn, with the Llano River sweeping across the northeastern corner. This modern survey reflects a landscape of sprawling ranch lands and private airfields, notably the Flying H Ranch Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find several isolated burial grounds preserved across the terrain, such as Pennington Creek Cemetery, Cap Mountain Cemetery, Paschall Cemetery, and Honey Creek Cemetery. These sites, often situated near watercourses like Honey Creek or Waters Creek, provide critical anchor points for family histories in a region where few formal settlements appear on the map.
