2019 Map of Cherokee

About this map

Cherokee serves as the primary community in this portion of the Texas Hill Country, situated near the northern edge of the map. The landscape is defined by the crossing of the San Saba Co Llano Co line and a network of drainages including Cherokee Cr, Wrights Cr, and the Little Llano River. Local history is preserved in several small burial grounds such as Hanna Cem and the Baby Head Cem near Babyhead Mtn. The transport network relies on Ranch Rd 501 and a series of rural county roads, while the presence of the J Ranch Airport indicates private aviation activity in the region. This 2019 survey documents a terrain where cattle ranching and traditional family names persist along the banks of Babyhead Creek.
