2019 Map of Fort McKavett

About this map

Fort McKavett serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated near the headwaters of the San Saba River. The area is characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage features, including Milligan Draw, Butcher Pen Draw, and Rattlesnake Draw. Settlement patterns are sparse, with the presence of Robertson Flat and the Herd Ranch Airport indicating the expansive ranching operations of the Edwards Plateau. Traces of historical movement through the terrain are preserved in the labeling of the Toe Nail Trl, while local water sources like Government Springs, Baptism Hole, and Calistro Hole highlight the importance of dependable springs in this semi-arid region. The map also identifies the Bihl Cem to the northeast, a key site for local genealogical research.
