2010 Map of North Fort Hood

About this map

Henson Mountains and a series of prominent points including McBride Point and Robinette Point dominate this Central Texas landscape within the North Fort Hood military reservation. The terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Henson Creek and Owl Creek, which flow toward the Leon River in the northeast. This 2010 survey reveals a dual character of the land: active military training infrastructure, such as the Longhorn Auxiliary Landing Strip and Shorthorn Auxiliary Landing Strip, exists alongside legacy civilian sites. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds preserved within the training area boundaries, including Bethel Cemetery, Ruth Cemetery, and the King and Smith Cemetery. The settlements of Mound and Flat sit on the eastern periphery, connected by rural routes like FM 1829 and FM 931, marking the transition from military-managed territory to established ranching and agricultural lands.
