About this map

The boundary between San Saba and Llano counties runs through this Hill Country landscape, where the settlement of Valley Spring serves as a local anchor. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Magill Mountain and Shin Oak Mountain, with Potter Flats providing a rare stretch of level ground among the drainage basins of Cherokee Creek and Hickory Creek.

Several smaller water sources, including Heck Springs and Hext Spring, suggest the critical importance of reliable water in this part of Texas. Evidence of early settlement and family history is found at the Gray Cemetery in the northeastern corner, situated near Ponotoc Road. The map details an extensive network of ranch roads, including Madden Ranch Road and Valley Ranch Road, which trace the legacy of cattle and land ownership across Cedar Hollow and the surrounding watersheds.
