About this map

The small communities of Erna and Streeter anchor this portion of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is defined by its namesake prominent peaks and watercourses. Long Mountain rises as a central landmark, flanked by Haystack Mountain and Cutoff Mountain. Genealogists will find significant local history at the scattered burial grounds throughout the area, including Long Mountain Cemetery, Jacoby Cemetery, and Coffey Cemetery.

A network of drainage systems including Tenmile Creek, Leon Creek, and Big Bluff Creek cuts through the terrain, with local access facilitated by rural routes such as Blockhouse Rd and El Paisano Rd. The map illustrates a ranching-heavy geography where the relationship between the rugged limestone topography and permanent water sources like Spring Branch dictated the early settlement patterns and subsequent road placement for this rural Menard County district.
