1970 Map of Calf Creek

About this map

The San Saba River carves through the Texas Hill Country at the intersection of McCulloch, Mason, and Menard Counties, as documented in this 1970 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by its water sources and ranching infrastructure, featuring the Block House Ranch and numerous winding tributaries like Calf Creek and Wild Hog Hollow Creek. A lone Grave and the Twentymile Crossing hint at the earlier human footprints in this ranching district, while a Private Landing Strip marks a modern layer of land use. Geologic and industrial activity is represented by several Gravel Pit locations near the river. The survey captures a sparsely populated region where life and travel are still fundamentally tied to the drainage patterns of the Tenmile Creek and the deep waters of the Blue Hole.
