About this map

Montgomery Cem stands as a quiet landmark in the southern reaches of this San Saba County landscape, situated near the intersection of several local routes. The area is defined by a dense network of windmills and water tanks essential for ranching operations, such as Bear Hollow Windmill, South Windmill, and Highway Windmill. These scattered water sources support the livestock economy around the Flying V Ranch and across the broader territory.

Prominent landforms like Blackjack Hill, Horse Mtn, and Fourmile Hill overlook a drainage system where Cherokee Cr and Buffalo Cr carve through several namesake depressions, including Cowhorn Hollow and Big Blackjack Hollow. The reliance on subsurface water is evident in the many named tanks like Little Silly Tank and Evans Tank, which punctuate the dry flats and creek beds, revealing the specialized infrastructure required to manage this Texas terrain in the early 21st century.
