Do We Need a Texas Hill Country Forum? (Corpus Christi, Lubbock: college, area)

I feel like I'm missing something here. What is the argument for a Texas Hill Country forum?

"Meridian, The Top Of The Hill Country" but in actuality, it too is in Central Texas.

Same map, just a magnified view.

No argument for/against. Just a simple question as there seems to be several questions about the Texas Hill Country that get buried in this big state forum. This thread has nothing to do with humidity, cheap land, high property taxes, bad drivers, and regrets about moving to Texas.

At this point, I think it might be a bit too early for additional sub-forums here. There are threads from three days on the first page of the general Texas forum, so it doesn't appear that topics are getting bumped to the second page too quickly. However, I am always interested in members' opinions about new sub-forums for future reference. I added two new sub-forums in other states just recently based on similar threads.

Yes, I know. I actually posted it before I saw that you already had and then went back to edit the part about the size.

Hey guys, according to my research, I've come up with the following map that is most likely the "official" hill country region of Texas:

Google Maps

I pulled this from talking to realtors and locals.

After seeing some pics and understanding the culture that I read on another forum about the hill country. I understand why Ft. Hood isn't considered the hill country as well as Austin.

Austin is pretty much considered part of the HC, at least most of it.

Of course, all the maps leave out Killeen and Fort Hood which is easy to explain if one has been there.

I like your map, but Hondo the HC.

I thought Austin was Central Texas as well. And I've seen all types of different maps of the Hill Country so until I see the official one, I still think the Killeen area is the Hill Country.
