About this map

Lometa serves as the central hub of this Lampasas County landscape, where the intersection of highway and local street grids like Main St and Lampasas St meet the rural expanses of central Texas. The town's historical infrastructure is anchored by the Lometa Reservoir Santa Fe Lake, while the nearby Long Cove Cem and Lometa Air Strip provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.

South and west of the town site, the terrain becomes increasingly complex with numerous named draws and hollows. Features such as Rattlesnake Draw, Happy Hollow, and Van Winkle Gulch drain into Salt Cr and Kirby Cr. The presence of reliable water sources is noted by Panther Spring and Jennings Springs, which likely dictated early settlement patterns and livestock routes. Landmarks like Grassy Knob and Messanger Mtn define the horizon above the intricate drainages of McAnelly Cr and Lynch Cr.
