2010 Map of Bear Hollow

About this map

Montgomery Cemetery sits near the southern edge of this landscape, serving as a silent witness to the generations who worked this portion of San Saba County. The terrain is defined by a network of ranching improvements and seasonal water sources, where named landmarks like Horse Mountain and Blackjack Hill rise above the drainage basins of Cherokee Creek and Buffalo Creek. The reliance on local water management is evident through numerous specialized features, including the Bear Hollow Windmill, Section Tank, and Rattlesnake Pond, which supported the livestock operations of the Flying V Ranch. The road network, consisting of routes like E Chappel Rd and Co Rd 403, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting isolated flats like York Flat to the broader cattle country of central Texas.
