2010 Map of Buffalo Knob

About this map

Buffalo Knob and High Pond Mountain dominate this central Texas landscape, characterized by the scattered windmills and water conservation infrastructure of San Saba County. The map documents a working ranching environment where the distribution of water is critical, evidenced by the numerous named landmarks such as the Bull Trap Windmill, Kelley Windmill, and Dofflemyer Windmill. Beyond individual wells, larger-scale water management is visible at Soil Conservation Service Site 13a Dam and its counterpart, Site 14a Dam, which regulate the flow of Wallace Creek and Latham Creek.
