About this map

The Fort Hood Military Reservation dominates much of this central Texas landscape, where military infrastructure sits alongside quiet rural settlements. Toward the north, specialized facilities like the Longhorn Auxiliary Landing Strip and Shorthorn Auxiliary Landing Strip illustrate the area's role in aviation and training operations. Outside the reservation boundaries, the small communities of Mound and Flat maintain their traditional footprints near the winding course of the Leon River.

Family history and local heritage are well-preserved through numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Bethel Cem near Dalton Mtn and King and Smith Cem to the east. The landscape is defined by distinct topographical markers such as the Henson Mountains and several named points like McBride Point and Rambo Point, which rise above the creek beds of Owl Cr and Henson Cr. This 2012 survey captures a unique boundary between active federal military land and enduring Texas homesteads.
