About this map

Brady Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of San Saba County, where the landscape is defined by the drainages of the San Saba River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures the working ranchlands of the early 21st century, punctuated by a sophisticated network of named water sources and pastoral infrastructure. Established landholdings such as Pool Ranch and Pole Pen Ranch anchor the territory, connected by rural routes like Brady Mtn Rd and Co Rd 362.

The importance of water management in this arid Texas environment is evident through the naming of specific tanks and windmills. From Thousand Dollar Tank to High Lonesome Windmill and Indian Hill Windmill, these features indicate a reliance on groundwater to support livestock across the undulating terrain. To the west, the topography is marked by Chimney Bluff, while a series of creek systems including Wild Boar Creek, Turkey Roost Creek, and Middle Deep Creek carve the valley floors.
