Two historic ghost towns, Bettina and Baby Head, once stood in the county’s German-settlement era but are not populated places today.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nSmaller unincorporated places such as Field Creek, Click, and Lone Grove share the ZIP code of their nearest post office town rather than carrying their own.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nLlano County sits on the Edwards Plateau, a rugged stretch of Texas Hill Country marked by granite outcrops, live oak and cedar cover, and the pink dome of Enchanted Rock along its southern edge. The Llano and Colorado rivers cross the county and meet near Kingsland, and the Colorado is impounded here to form Lake Buchanan and Lake LBJ, both popular for boating and fishing.<\/p>\n |
