2016 Map of North Fort Hood

About this map

The Leon River snakes through this portion of Coryell County, defining a landscape shaped by military activity and rural legacy. The northern quadrant is marked by the grid-like infrastructure of North Fort Hood, including aviation facilities like the Longhorn Auxiliary Landing Strip and Shorthorn Auxiliary Landing Strip. This military presence contrasts with the older, established settlements of Mound and Flat located along the eastern edge. A high density of family and community burial grounds, such as King and Smith Cem and Ruth Cem, are scattered across the terrain, offering significant primary-source data for genealogists. The topography is defined by the Henson Mountains and several prominent heights including Dalton Mtn and King Mtn, while numerous drainage systems like Henson Cr and Owl Cr carve through the limestone valleys, illustrating the complex watershed of the Central Texas region.
