About this map

Brady Mountain anchors this portion of San Saba County, where the high ridges of the Edwards Plateau give way to a complex network of seasonal drainages and springs. The landscape is defined by its water management, featuring a dense distribution of livestock tanks such as Thousand Dollar Tank, Larremore Tank, and Bull Trap Tank. In the northwestern corner, the San Saba River cuts across the terrain near Deep Cr Ranch Lake and the Deep Creek Ranch Airport, marking a rare point of aviation infrastructure in an otherwise agricultural expanse.

Evidence of the local ranching economy is carved into the topography at T F Hollow and along the base of Chimney Bluff. Navigating this rugged country relies on a web of county roads and named tracks like Brady Mtn Rd, which provides access to remote landmarks including Cold Spring and Bear Water Hole. The intricate contouring of Turkey Roost Cr and Wallace Cr illustrates the erosive power of the Central Texas hill country, where narrow draws and creeks eventually feed the river system to the north.
