2019 Map of Long Mountain

About this map

The boundary between Menard Co and Mason Co bisects this ranching landscape of the Texas Hill Country, dominated by the prominence of Long Mountain and Haystack Mtn. The small settlement of Streeter sits at the intersection of local routes, serving as a landmark for the surrounding rural homesteads. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by significant water sources and rugged topography, including Pluenneke Springs and the drainage systems of Tenmile Cr and Big Bluff Cr. Genealogy and local history are anchored here by family and community burial sites like Jacoby Cem, Long Mountain Cem, and Coffey Cem. The network of private ranch roads, such as 99 Ranch Rd and Ranch Hand Rd, illustrates the continued agricultural use and large-parcel land divisions that characterize the region. Names like Muskhog Hollow and Holland Draw reflect the localized vernacular of the Texas terrain.
