About this map

The Lampasas River carves a winding path through this central Texas landscape, creating a distinct topography of limestone peaks and valleys along the boundary of Bell and Williamson counties. The settlement of Youngsport sits at a strategic crossing, while the surrounding area is defined by named heights such as Paisano Peak and Horse Thief Mountain. Water is the primary driver of settlement patterns here, evidenced by the presence of Underwood Spring and Abbott Spring, which feed into tributaries like Buttermilk Creek and Mustang Creek.

A notable shift in the landscape is documented by the inclusion of Stillhouse Hollow Lake, reflecting post-war water management and recreational development. Cultural sites such as Cedar Valley Ch and a local Cem provide important points of reference for genealogists. The southern portion of the sheet features the expansive Solana Ranch, while the inclusion of an Airstrip suggests the modernization of rural transportation during the mid-20th century.
