About this map

The Colorado River winds through this central Texas landscape, carving a path through a series of named hollows including Ceder Hollow and Laird Hollow. Small rural settlements like Bowser, Buffalo, and Locker serve as the primary focal points for this cattle-country terrain, connected by a network of ranch-to-market roads and county routes. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the map, such as Ebony Cem, Bowser Cem, and Locker Cem, alongside the Vargy Chapel Cem.

Surface water is managed through several reservoirs and stock tanks, most notably Collins Lake in the northwest and the Sofge-Bates Lake Number 1 complex to the south. Distinctive geological markers like Corn Knob and Cat Knob rise above the drainage basins of Wilbarger Cr and Comanche Cr, illustrating the rugged drainage patterns that define the San Saba County countryside near the Tin Top Ranch Airport.
