2012 Map of Smoothingiron Mountain

About this map

Smoothingiron Mountain dominates this portion of Llano County, serving as a prominent landmark in a landscape defined by granite uplands and winding creek beds. This 2012 survey reveals a rural Texas terrain where transportation is still dictated by the topography, with routes like Old Union Rd and Hickory Grove Rd navigating around significant elevations such as Turkeyroost Mtn and Kings Mtn. Local family history is preserved in the placement of the Newsom Cem, Koger Cem, and Wooten Cem, which are tucked away near watercourses like San Fernando Cr and Elm Cr. The road network, including the specifically named Union School Rd and Mcgowan Ranch Rd, suggests a legacy of early ranching and rural education in this corner of the Hill Country.
