2016 Map of Buckhorn

About this map

Sauney Stand and the surrounding agricultural lands of Austin County define this landscape at the confluence of several prominent watercourses. The meandering Brazos River forms a significant natural boundary to the east, while interior drainage is provided by Caney Cr and Gibbs Cr. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep genealogical roots of this Texas region. Researchers can identify the locations of the Apperson Cem, Washam Cem, and Carlisle Cem, among others. Settlement is concentrated around the crossroads of Buckhorn and the oil-producing vicinity of Raccoon Bend. The presence of the Eberly Ranch Airport and a network of named local roads like Baranowski Bush Rd illustrate the modern rural infrastructure as it existed in the mid-2010s.
