About this map

Oxford sits as the central settlement point in this Llano County landscape, where the road network including Ranch Rd 965 and Lost Hollow Rd connects the scattered ranchlands. The topography is defined by the significant peaks of the Riley Mountains, alongside named summits like Railbrake Mtn, Lone Mtn, and the curiously named Fool Mtn near Fool Gap. These elevations dictate a complex drainage system of creeks and branches, such as Sandy Cr and Crump Cr, which carve through the terrain.

The presence of features like Goldmine Cr hints at the region's mineral history, while Roal Spring provides a critical water source in an otherwise high-elevation environment. From Hickory Bluff to the depths of Coulee Hollow, the map detail illustrates a transition between steep limestone or granite rises and the alluvial valleys of the Willow Br and Legion Cr. This 2016 survey documents the modern layout of these enduring Texas landforms.
