About this map

Mason and Llano counties divide this landscape of high granitic domes and creek drainages in the Texas Hill Country. The terrain is anchored by the prominent House Mountain and Putman Mountain, with the ephemeral House Mountain Spring tucked between the peaks. The namesake House Mountain rises as a distinct summit north of Lovers Rock, a local landmark overlooking the junction of Hickory Creek and Cottonwood Creek.

Genealogists will find the Putman Cemetery along the southern slopes of the mountain range, situated near Farm to Market Road 2323. The map documents a network of rural routes including Old Putnam Place Drive and Keyserville Road, tracing family names into the valleys of Marschall Creek and Blockhouse Creek. These drainages, along with Meusebach Mountain to the northwest, illustrate the rugged drainage patterns characteristic of this Llano Uplift region.
