About this map

The small settlement of Oxford serves as the central landmark for this portion of the Texas Hill Country, situated where local roads converge in a landscape defined by dramatic granite and limestone elevations. The topography is anchored by numerous peaks including Bowie Mtn, Lone Mtn, and the curiously named Fool Mtn near Fool Gap. These summits separate a complex network of seasonal drainages, most notably Sandy Cr and its various tributaries like Willow Br and Crump Cr.

Evidence of historical land use and early ranching persists through labels such as the Fowler Ranch and Raab Spring. The presence of Goldmine Cr in the western section hints at the region's mineral prospecting history. This 2012 survey illustrates a sparsely populated but rugged area where modern routes like Ranch Road 965 and Lost Hollow Rd follow the natural contours of the Llano County terrain.
