About this map

Beyer Crossing serves as a central landmark in this portion of the Texas Hill Country, situated near the meandering path of the San Saba River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainages and permanent waterways, including the prominent Clear Cr Lake and the feeder streams of Silver Mine Cr and N Fork Dry Cr. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the river bottomlands to the drier uplands, where smaller tributaries like Coghlan Br and Ninemile Cr carve through the terrain.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by family-named sites such as Waddell Cem in the northwest and Ellis Cem to the east. The map records a rural infrastructure of named ranch roads and lanes, including Silver Mine Rd and Pfluger Ln, which connect isolated homesteads and landmarks like Wilkinson Springs. The distribution of these features reveals a long-standing ranching economy dependent on the critical water sources of the San Saba basin.
