About this map

The San Saba River defines the southern reach of this West Texas landscape, winding through a series of distinctive riverbank features such as Picnic Bend, Billy Hole, and Gravel Hole. This rural portion of McCulloch County is characterized by a network of drainage draws and hollows, including McDougal Draw and the ominously named Dead Man Hollow. The settlement of Robbers Roost sits just north of the river, anchored by a grid of local roads like Mahan Rd and Tucker Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find the Hext Cemetery located near the southern edge, accessible via Hext Cemetary Ln. The terrain north of the river is marked by ephemeral waterways like Calf Creek and Greenhead Creek, which carve through the open range. This document captures the intersection of ranching infrastructure and natural hydrology in the early 21st century, showing how modern access roads follow the contours of the historic draws.
