2010 Map of Blucher Mountain

About this map

Blucher Mountain rises above a landscape defined by its network of watercourses and rural crossings in this 2010 survey. The settlement of Fairview anchors the southeastern corner, while the remainder of the terrain is characterized by meandering drainages such as Spring Creek, China Creek, and Buzzard Creek. For family historians, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the area, including Old Algerita Cemetery near the banks of Richland Springs Creek and Neal Cemetery further north. Water management is a significant feature of the modern landscape, evidenced by the Soil Conservation Service Site 16 Reservoir and Childress Lake, both created by earthen dams. A complex grid of county roads, such as Co RD 211 and Co 202, connects isolated homesteads and ranch lands like Yates Field, reflecting the persistent agricultural and ranching character of this part of San Saba County.
