About this map

Beyer Crossing sits at a strategic point along the San Saba River in Menard County, where several drainages converge in this Central Texas landscape. The southern portion of the sheet is defined by the winding river and its tributaries, including Fields Creek and Bois D'Arc Creek. This water-focused geography is anchored by the reservoir of Clear Creek Lake, held by the Clear Creek Lake Dam.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant family-named landmarks that point to the area's settlement patterns, such as Waddell Cemetery and Ellis Cemetery. The local road network, including Waddell Ln and Silver Mine Rd, provides a framework for understanding land use. The presence of features like Silver Mine Creek suggests the region's historical associations with mineral exploration, while the dense network of ephemeral streams like North Fork Dry Creek and Ninemile Creek illustrates the complex drainage system of the Edwards Plateau.
