About this map

San Saba River crossings and rural homesteads define this central Texas landscape west of the county seat. The settlement of Algerita sits along the northern rail and road corridor, while Harkeyville serves as a local landmark to the east. The terrain is marked by the Harkey Knobs and carved by numerous watercourses including Richland Springs Creek and Wallace Creek.

Family and community history is preserved across several burial grounds, such as China Creek Cemetery, Davidson Cemetery, and Wallace Creek Cemetery. The infrastructure of the ranching economy is evident through features like Ellis Ranch and water management landmarks including Dunbar Tank, Denison Tank, and the Soil Conservation Service Site 15 Dam. This survey captures the traditional land use patterns of the region, where ranch roads like Ranch Rd 1030 connect disparate holdings across the creek branches.
