About this map

Buffalo Knob and High Pond Mtn dominate this section of the Edwards Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the seasonal drainage patterns of the Colorado River watershed. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple watercourses, including the south-flowing Buffalo Creek and the northwest-trending Wallace Creek. These drainages serve as the primary corridors for the local road network, with routes like Ranch Rd 1030 and Co Rd 310 following the natural contours of the land.

Water sources are vital markers in this semi-arid region, noted here by Wallace Springs and various stock features like Click Tank. The map reveals a contemporary ranching environment where modern improvements such as PR 319 and Co Rd 324 intersect with long-established landmarks like Dry Simpson Creek and McDonald Branch. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the rural San Saba County infrastructure and its relationship to the underlying topography.
