2022 Map of Fort McKavett

About this map

Fort McKavett sits at the heart of this Central Texas landscape, marking a site deeply rooted in the frontier history of the Edwards Plateau. The settlement's proximity to the San Saba River and reliable water sources like Government Springs and Baptism Hole illustrates the vital role of the river corridor in the region's development. Local genealogy is well-represented by the Fort McKavett Cem and the Opp - Bihl Cem near Opp Spring, while landmarks such as Target Hill and Robertson Flat provide geographical context for the terrain surrounding the old military outpost. The network of ranch roads, including Ranch Rd 864 and Preston Rd, connects scattered features like the Herd Ranch Airport and various named draws such as Milligan Draw and Rattlesnake Draw, which define the drainage patterns of this rural limestone landscape.
