About this map

The San Saba River and Llano River watersheds define the landscape of the Texas Hill Country in this mid-1980s compilation. Centered on the town of Mason, the map details a region where the rugged Mason Mountains and Blue Mountains interrupt the plateau. Small rural communities like Hilda, London, and Streeter serve as local hubs connected by a network of state roads including Route 29 and Route 377.

Evidence of the local economy and infrastructure appears through numerous named water features such as South Saline Creek and Honey Creek, alongside landmarks like the County Airport and a Gaging Station on the river. The survey reflects the distribution of ranching and small-scale settlements across Mason, Menard, and Kimble counties, capturing the layout of the land before significant modern development altered these rural corridors.
