2022 Map of Algerita

About this map

The San Saba River defines the central geography of this central Texas landscape, winding eastward through a series of creek confluences. Small communities and family landmarks are scattered across the terrain, including Algerita in the northwest and Harkeyville situated along the river valley. The western edge of the city of San Saba appears on the eastern margin, connected to the hinterlands by a network of ranch roads and county routes. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, such as China Creek Cem, Barnett Cem, and Wallace Creek Cem, which speak to the area's rural settlement patterns. The topography transitions from the river bottom to the distinct elevations of the Harkey Knobs and the southern drainage of Bannister Hollow, showing the persistence of traditional cattle and ranching infrastructure through features like Dunbar Tank and Denison Tank.
