Need map of Texas Hill Country
I would invite one of the principal authors of this article to install a map very similar to the one that appears in Appalachia. "A picture is worth a thousand words".Hokeman 04:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * User:Yassie created one for the Japanese Wikipedia article, which I've also added to this article. --Delirium (talk) 06:44, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't it ever named "la Sierra de San Saba"&thinsp;?

Accuracy Question
This article sites the TP&W for its definition of what comprises the "Texas Hill Country," but a lot of local sources as far northeast as Waco claim to be in the "hill country" as well- so it could arguably be a much larger chunk of land than the TP&W claim. Might want to do some resource and source-gathering before just blindly quoting a government source. --69.151.250.209 (talk) 13:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Why don't you provide us with those sources you refer to? — Maile  (talk) 00:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Flora
This article should have no reference to the California fan palm. The source material cited states basically that, except for the California fan palm, all palms native to the continental United States are found east of the Balcones Fault. Its does not claim that this plant is found anywhere near this region. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.225.0.38 (talk) 03:42, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Fauna
But there should be mention of the fantastic birding in the region. It's famous world-wide. Samuel Webster (talk) 15:22, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Devil's Backbone
The article states:

Devil's Backbone appeared in a 1996 episode of NBC's Robert Stack anthology series Unsolved Mysteries, featuring ghosts of Spanish monks, Comanche as well as Lipan Apache Native Americans, Confederate soldiers on their horses, and a spirit of a wolf. It later re-aired when this series was hosted by Dennis Farina.

Notably missing is any definition of what the Devil's Backbone actually is.

King of the HILL
Notice that Ann Richards, Ladybird Johnson, Willie Nelson, all feature prominently in the show King of the Hill. Arlen TX is also shown to he located un a beautiful part of Texas with forests and lakes and caves and Rocky escarpments. Very early in the show (the son that got away) the tunnels and caves of the karst unique to the Hill Country are featured. The accordion and German-Mexican culture also feature prominently throughout the show. 186.12.22.94 (talk) 19:32, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
