Cloud Point

Cloud Point is a cliff overlooking the Llano River valley and the valley of Johnson Fork Creek that served for many years as a landmark for soldiers and other travelers along the roads crossing this terrain. It was named for the family of William Johnston Cloud, a Civil War veteran who bought property in this part of Kimble County and built his home near this site. Roads that passed by Cloud Point included the Upper Presidio Road from Kerrville to Fort McKavett, the Military Road from Fort Terrett to San Antonio, and the transcontinental Old Spanish Trail. Although it has not been on a main route since the 1970s, Cloud Point remains a local point of interest.
