Fort Hood and the northern reaches of Killeen dominate this 2016 survey, showcasing the intense military and urban infrastructure of central Texas. The landscape is a network of specialized roads with names like Tank Destroyer Blvd, Hell on Wheels Ave, and Old Ironsides Ave, reflecting the storied armored divisions stationed here. Beyond the cantonment areas, the map reveals a complex terrain of named peaks and gaps, including Sugar Loaf Mtn, Post Oak Mtn, and Castle Mtn. These elevations overlook numerous drainages such as Cowhouse Creek and Bull Run. The presence of Hood Army Airfield and the Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Reservoir illustrates the dual priorities of military readiness and land management in the region. To the north, the terrain becomes more varied with landmarks like Egypt Hollow and Smith Mtn before crossing the Coryell and Bell County line.
