Teacup Mountain is a knob of rock used by Indians and Texas Rangers as a lookout post. Today the mountain is on private land, and not accessible to passers-by. This historic marker in a small pullout along the US377 will have to do.
Marker Number: 5213
Marker Text:
Named for its peculiar formation. Probably used as a lookout post by both whites and Indians in pioneer days. Near here occurred the Indian killing of pioneer James Bradberry, Sr., 1872; and the capture of a wanted man by LT. N. O. Reynolds and four fellow Texas Rangers in 1878. (1967)
