About this map

Oxford sits along the northern edge of this Llano County landscape, where the elevation begins to rise into the Riley Mountains. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems that feed into Sandy Creek and Legion Creek. Geologic and topographic features are central to the area's identity, with interestingly named landmarks such as Fool Mountain, Fool Gap, and Bowie Mountain punctuating the southern reaches.

Remote ranching life is evident through the placement of the Fowler Ranch near the Riley Creek headwaters. The map illustrates a complex network of seasonal waterways, including Lost Hollow Creek and Crump Creek, which carve through the high ground of McBrown Mountain and Railbrake Mountain. This survey serves as a primary reference for the naming conventions and property boundaries of this part of the Texas Hill Country at the start of the 21st century.
