2019 Map of Bend

About this map

The Colorado River carves a dramatic path through the Texas Hill Country on the border of San Saba and Lampasas counties, most notably at the sharp oxbow known as McAnelly Bend. The small settlement of Chappel serves as a central point for the local road network, where Ranch Rd 501 and Co Rd 448 converge. The landscape is defined by deep drainages like Whey Hollow and Davis Hollow, alongside prominent elevations such as Round Mtn. Genealogy researchers will find several localized landmarks, including the Rough Creek Cem near Rough Creek and the Bend Cem positioned on the high ground overlooking the river valley. The eastern portion of the sheet features a complex network of trails and secondary paths, such as the Lively Loop and Tie Slide, winding through the terrain near Gorman Creek.
