2012 Map of Star Mountain

About this map

Star Mtn and the Hog Mountains anchor the central and western reaches of this North Texas terrain, where a complex network of seasonal drainages defines the landscape. Early 21st-century water management is evident through the Soil Conservation Service Site 7 Reservoir and Soil Conservation Service Site 11 Reservoir, which capture runoff from the surrounding uplands. The area is intersected by numerous named creeks, including Patridge Cr, Jimmys Cr, and Little Jimmys Cr, reflecting a watershed that feeds into larger systems like Blanket Cr. This map documents the rural infrastructure of the era, dominated by a grid of county roads such as Co RD-113 and HWY-1477 that connect remote ranching and agricultural tracts. The layout of these roads, following the natural contours and property lines of Brown County, illustrates the persistent rural character of the region as it transitioned into the modern era.
