2010 Map of Burnet

About this map

Burnet serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated where the Edwards Plateau transitions toward the Llano Uplift. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of traditional ranching roots and modern rural residential growth, with historical sites like Pleasant Hill Cemetery and Bethel Cemetery anchored in the northern reaches. Waterways such as the Russell Fork San Gabriel River and North Fork San Gabriel River carve through the limestone-influenced terrain, while smaller tributaries like Daugherty Branch and Haynie Branch drain the area surrounding the town center. To the southwest, Post Mountain provides a prominent topographic landmark. Further southeast, the small community of Summit sits along the roadway network, illustrating the spread of local development beyond the main township along routes like Shady Grove Rd and Old San Saba Rd.
