1959 Map of Star

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The community of Star sits at the junction of several drainage systems where the southern edge of Hamilton County meets Mills County. This landscape is defined by its dramatic topographic shifts, marked by prominent rises like Star Mountain and the significant pass at Hurst Gap. To the south, the settlement of Moline lies near the Mills and Lampasas County boundary, connected by winding rural roads and an extensive Pipeline network. The area’s ranching roots are evident in landmarks such as the Hurst Ranch Cem, while the hydrological network of Bennett Creek and the Lampasas River dictates the region’s agricultural potential. The varied elevations around Payne Mountain and the distinct openings of Payne Gap and Castle Gap reveal how early settlers navigated the terrain to establish remote homesteads and crossroads in this central Texas territory.
