About this map

Killeen anchors the southern portion of this landscape, its residential grid defined by streets like W Rancier Ave and Warrior Way. Just north of the city limits, the terrain transitions into a series of named heights and gaps along the Coryell and Bell County line. The infrastructure of Fort Hood is evident here, featuring the Hood Army Airfield and numerous tactical roads such as Hell on Wheels Ave and Tank Destroyer Blvd.

Water management and natural drainage systems are prominent, from the Soil Conservation Service Site 5a Reservoir to the winding course of Cowhouse Creek. Between the limestone ridges of Post Oak Mtn and Sugar Loaf Mtn, the map reveals a rugged geography of hollows and gaps like Gulps Gap and Black Gap. These features provide a clear view of the military installation's integration with the central Texas environment during the late 2010s.
