About this map

Pontotoc anchors this 2016 survey at the meeting point of Mason, Llano, and San Saba counties. The community is defined by its deep historical roots, evidenced by both the Old Pontotoc Cem and the New Pontotoc Cem located along the arterial route of Ranch Rd 501. This is a landscape of creek drainages and granite outcroppings, where waterways like Field Creek and Cold Creek carve through the Texas Hill Country terrain.

Prominent geological landmarks such as High Rock, Panther Rock, and Lone Oak Mtn rise above the drainage basins of Panther Creek and Pontotoc Creek. The mapping of local thoroughfares, including Hickory Grove Rd and College St, provides a clear view of the settlement pattern near the county lines. Farther east, the Cold Creek Cem sits near the banks of its namesake stream, highlighting the scattered nature of early rural establishments in this tri-county region.
