About this map

The expansive military reservation of Fort Hood dominates this Central Texas landscape, where the administrative and residential grid meets the limestone uplands of the Lampasas Cut Plain. Organized housing areas like McNair Village and Chaffee Village sit at the edge of a dense network of specialized roads, including Tank Destroyer Blvd and the evocatively named Hell on Wheels Ave. This infrastructure contrasts sharply with the rugged terrain to the north, where Cowhouse Creek winds past distinctive topographic features such as Jack Mtn, Lone Mtn, and the Blackwell Mountains.

A network of drainage systems, including Cottonwood Cr and House Cr, carves through the terrain, punctuated by artificial reservoirs like Copperas Cove Lake Number 2 and Lake Henry. Historical transit routes are still visible in the landscape, most notably Old Georgetown Rd, while the boundary between Coryell and Bell County bisects the military installation. The map also documents a cluster of streets named for Indigenous cultures, such as Wichita Dr and Comanche Ave, reflecting a specific era of residential naming within the fort.
