1955 Map of Magill Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Shin Oak Mountain and the surrounding high ground of the Texas Hill Country dominate this mid-century topographical study of the boundary between San Saba and Llano counties. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, particularly the North Fork Cherokee Creek and the main channel of Cherokee Creek, which carve through the terrain south of Potter Flats. This era of land use is marked by a proliferation of windmills across the ranch land, indicating a reliance on groundwater for livestock in this semi-arid region. To the east, Cedar Hollow leads toward Magill Mountain, while local history is anchored by the Gray Cemetery near the northeastern corner. The map captures a transition between the open heights and the intricate creek systems like Pecan Creek and Hickory Creek, reflecting a quiet period of rural ranching development before significant modern expansion.
