About this map

San Saba River defines the northwestern corner of this Texas landscape, where the elevation rises sharply into the distinctive Brady Mtn and Chimney Bluff. The terrain is marked by a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems including Wild Boar Cr and Turkey Roost Cr, feeding into the larger Deep Cr basin. Settlement and land use are centered around ranching infrastructure, evidenced by private airstrips like the Deep Creek Ranch Airport and numerous water management features such as Larremore Tank and Flemming Tank.

Historically, the reliance on groundwater is visible through several named sources like Deep Creek Spring and the curiously named Bear Water Hole. The road network, primarily composed of routes like Brady Mtn Rd and Co Rd 362, follows the contours of the limestone ridges and hollows, such as T F Hollow, illustrating the enduring relationship between the topography of the Edwards Plateau and the pastoral life of San Saba County.
