About this map

San Saba River meanders through this portion of San Saba County, defining a landscape shaped by intermittent drainage and perennial springs. The area is characterized by a series of significant water sources, including Baker Spring, Hart Springs, and Turkey Roost Springs, which have historically anchored local ranching and settlement patterns. A network of rural roads, such as Richland Springs River Rd and S Cotton Belt Rd, connects isolated homesteads and ranch lands across the winding terrain of Cedar Hollow and T F Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Ellis Cem situated on a bend of the river, a key landmark for tracing family roots in this rural district. The presence of Lake Margery and Deep Cr Ranch Lake highlights the importance of water management in this part of Texas, where watercourses like Dry Cr and Honey Cr dominate the topographic relief between more reliable springs like Sloan Pool Spring and Flemming Spring.
