2012 Map of Pontotoc

About this map

Pontotoc and Field Creek anchor this Llano County landscape, where the ranching heritage of Central Texas is written in the names of family lands and livestock infrastructure. The cattle-working history of the region is evident through the mapping of the Nine-Bar Ranch, Taylor Ranch, and several remote landmarks like the Jenkins Windmill and East Murray Windmill. These features indicate a dependence on groundwater in a terrain defined by seasonal waterways such as Pontotoc Cr and Cold Cr. For those tracing local heritage, the map identifies significant communal sites including the Hutchinson School and several burial grounds. The distinction between the Old Pontotoc Cem and the New Pontotoc Cem provides a clear spatial record of the community's growth and continuity over generations, while prominent geological markers like Panther Rock and Lone Oak Mtn remain as permanent boundary points in the brush country.
