2016 Map of Smoothingiron Mountain

About this map

Smoothingiron Mountain dominates the northeastern landscape of this Llano County territory, where the Texas Hill Country transitions into a series of distinctive granite and limestone uplifts. The map details a sparsely populated ranching region defined by drainage systems like San Fernando Creek and Elm Cr, which flow through a rugged topography including Eckert Roughs and Turkeyroost Mtn. For local historians and genealogists, the placement of small, rural burial grounds such as Newsom Cem, Wooten Cem, and Koger Cem provides a direct link to the families who settled this area along the Mason and Llano county line. Transport in the region is largely defined by local routes like Union School House Rd and Hickory Grove Rd, reflecting the historical rural school and community hubs that once centered the local population.
