Marker Text: ​Supply line from U.S. Army headquarters in San Antonio to Fort Terrett, 1852-1854. 
    In the 1985's two-thirds of Texas was held by Comanches or threatened by raids. Posts such as Fort Terrett stood from Red River to the Rio Grande, for protection. The Fort Terrett Road paralleled Johnson (Elm) Fork of the Llano near Junction.
     The Army closed Fort Terrett in 1854, but settlers used the route as their main road to San Antonio. It appeared on Kimble County maps until 1930. Parts of the road are still visible. (1975)
