2010 Map of Star Mountain

About this map

The Hog Mountains rise across the western portion of this Central Texas landscape, defining a terrain shaped by numerous seasonal drainage systems. The namesake Star Mountain stands as a primary landmark in the southern interior, situated near the headwaters of Little Jimmys Creek. This 2010 survey highlights a sophisticated network of local water management, featuring several flood control structures such as the Soil Conservation Service Site 10 Dam and the Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir. These engineering works, managed by the Soil Conservation Service, are integrated into a rural landscape of ranch roads and county routes like FM 1689 and Co RD 175. The drainage patterns are complex, with waters flowing through systems including Patridge Creek, Rabbit Creek, and South Copperas Creek, illustrating the vital importance of watershed management in this part of Brown County.
