2016 Map of Star Mountain

About this map

Star Mountain and the Hog Mountains define the high ground of this Central Texas landscape along the Comanche and Brown county line. The terrain is deeply carved by a network of drainage systems, including Patridge Creek and Stag Creek, which flow toward larger catchments. Significant mid-century water management is evident through several major projects, specifically the Soil Conservation Service Site 7, Site 10, and Site 11 reservoirs. These features illustrate the regional efforts to manage runoff in a watershed dominated by intermittent streams like Little Jimmys Creek and Blanket Creek. A network of rural farm-to-market roads, such as FM 1689, FM 1477, and FM 1467, provides the primary infrastructure for the sparsely settled ranching and agricultural lands that occupy the valleys between the prominent limestone ridges.
