2019 Map of Monument Mountain

About this map

The Blue Mountains dominate this section of the Texas Hill Country, where high plateaus and deep drainage draws define the land use and ranching patterns. Along the northern edge, Ranch Rd 1871 provides the primary access route across the rugged terrain, crossing several ephemeral waterways including Little Rocky Cr and Rocky Cr. The namesake Monument Mtn sits as a central landmark, part of a complex ridgeline that separates the northern creek systems from the James River basin to the southeast. Local infrastructure is largely shaped by the topography, with Mill Creek Rd and Ernest Jordan Rd following the contours of the valleys. Isolated water sources like Walnut Spring and the expansive Edwards Draw indicate the vital importance of water management in this arid environment along the border of Kimble Co and Mason Co.
