1955 Map of Buffalo Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Nored Ranch serves as a central landmark in this mid-century view of the Texas Hill Country, where the landscape is defined by its working ranchland and complex drainage networks. Several prominent elevations rise above the winding watercourses, including Buffalo Knob and the plateau of High Pond Mtn. The reliance on local water sources is evident through the naming of various catchments and wells, such as Click Tank and the Bull Trap Windmill. This 1955 survey illustrates how cattle operations navigated the terrain using features like Woodward Grove for cover. The area is dissected by numerous waterways, most notably Wallace Creek, Simpson Creek, and Latham Creek, which funnel southward toward Buffalo Creek. These natural features, combined with isolated ranch structures and windmills, represent the typical rural infrastructure of San Saba County during this era.
