2019 Map of Youngsport

About this map

Youngsport and the surrounding Hill Country terrain are defined by the winding course of the Lampasas River, which flows toward the expansive waters of Stillhouse Hollow Lake in the northeast. This 2019 survey documents a landscape of dramatic elevation changes and named high points such as Horse Thief Mtn, Paisano Peak, and Turnbow Mtn. The region is characterized by a complex network of seasonal drainages and permanent water sources, including Abbott Spring and Underwood Spring, which feed into the Stillman Valley and Stillman Valley Cr. The map reveals the modern rural layout of southwestern Killeen and northern Bell County, where long-established ranch roads like Crows Ranch Rd and Seven Ranch Rd traverse the ridges and valleys. Evidence of the area's geological and social history is found in landmarks like Cedar Knob and the historic river crossings that shaped local transit before the modern highway system was fully established.
