This area landmark is of interest both to historians and geologists. Much of
the long, low mountain is 600-million-year-old sandstone in horizontal layers,
which rests on even more ancient Packsaddle schist, exposed in Honey Creek at
foot of the mountain off Texas 71. Intriguing traces of gold, silver and other
minerals have been reported in the sands of the creek. Mountain was site of a
fierce battle with Apaches on Aug. 5, 1873. The last major Native American
battle in the area. Five miles southwest of Kingsland in eastern Llano County.
