2022 Map of Bear Hollow

About this map

Montgomery Cem and the small settlement at York Flat characterize this portion of San Saba County. The terrain is defined by a series of named elevations and drainage systems, with Horse Mtn and Fourmile Hill standing as prominent landmarks above numerous hollows. The hydrology of the area is particularly detailed, featuring local ranching landmarks such as Little Silly Tank, Rattlesnake Pond, and Hubbard Tank. Natural springs like Woodward Springs feed into a network of seasonal and perennial watercourses, including Cherokee Cr and Buffalo Cr. This landscape reflects a rural Texas ranching economy, where the naming of every tank and hollow points to the importance of water management and land navigation in a region of modest but varied topography.
