About this map

Oxford Cem serves as a quiet landmark in this stretch of Llano County, where the terrain is defined by a series of isolated peaks and named ridges. To the north, Pluto Mtn and Railbrake Mtn rise above the drainage of Hondo Cr, while the eastern portion of the map is dominated by the Riley Mountains. The hydrology of the area is characterized by numerous seasonal waterways, including the winding course of Sandy Cr and its tributaries like Willow Br and Legion Cr.

Evidence of early exploration or localized mining interests is suggested by names like Goldmine Cr in the west, while the local nomenclature for high points ranges from the descriptive Hickory Bluff to the more idiosyncratic Fool Mtn and Fool Gap. The road network consists primarily of county routes such as Co RD 315, weaving through the draws and hollows like Wolf Hollow and Coulee Hollow that separate the primary summits.
