2010 Map of Cherokee

About this map

The settlement of Cherokee serves as the primary hub in this portion of the Texas Hill Country, situated where FM 501 and State Highway 16 intersect. The landscape is defined by its drainages and family-named landmarks, such as Babyhead Mountain and the watercourse of Babyhead Creek. For genealogists and local historians, several burial grounds are documented, including Hanna Cemetery, Kuykendall Cemetery, and the Baby Head Cemetery located further south. The map illustrates a network of rural roads like Valley Spring Rd and Pontotoc Rd connecting scattered farmsteads across a terrain etched by the Little Llano River and Wolf Creek. This survey captures the rural character of the region as it transitioned into the early 21st century, maintaining its traditional ranching and agricultural footprint.
