2016 Map of Grit

About this map

The Grit settlement and the rural highlands of the Mason Mountains define this section of the Texas Hill Country. Established along a network of ranch roads, the area is characterized by drainage systems like Honey Cr and W Comanche Cr that cut through the limestone terrain. Genealogists will find notable burial sites preserved here, including Grit Cem near the town center and the more remote Cavness Cem to the south. Distinctive geological landmarks such as the Double Knobs rise above the landscape, while historic transportation routes are reflected in names like Indian Trl and Behrens School Rd. The settlement of Koockville anchors the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, illustrating the dispersed ranching community structure of Mason County in the early 21st century.
