Silver Creek — Llano County Placer Gold

Silver Creek lies on the Oxford USGS topo sheet near Legion Creek, Riley Creek, and the Riley Mountains — the same Llano County upland where Spanish miners sought Los Almagres silver and where Anglo prospectors later chased Jim Bowie mine legends. The creek name reflects regional silver folklore; APMEX and BEG materials list the greater Llano River / Honey Creek country among Texas recreational gold locations. Gold is fine-grained and widely dispersed in gravel bars. Coordinates from USGS feature data on the Oxford quadrangle. Private property throughout the Honey Creek drainage.
