About this map

Howell Mountain and the surrounding Hill Country topography of central Texas define this 2022 survey. Located along the boundary of Llano and Blanco counties, the landscape is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and ridgelines, including Comanche Ridge, Rattlesnake Mountain, and Big Mountain. These heights are separated by significant passages such as Casner Gap and Porter Gap, reflecting the complex drainage patterns of waterways like Cypress Creek, Walnut Creek, and Pecan Creek.

Private ranching and local aviation are prominent features of the modern landscape, evidenced by the West Ranch Airport and Moursund Ranch Airport. Genealogists and local historians will note the presence of the Smith Family Cemetery situated near the northern edge of the map. The network of rural routes, including Farm Road 962 and Smith West Ranch Road, provides access through the terrain to landmarks like Round Mountain and the high points of The Great Divide.
