About this map

The San Saba River cuts through the southern portion of this landscape, creating a series of distinctive water features including Billy Hole, Gourd Hole, and Gravel Hole. The river’s path is marked by sharp turns such as Picnic Bend, while the surrounding terrain is defined by dry drainages and family-named landmarks. The namesake Robbers Roost elevation overlooks the river valley, serving as a prominent point of interest in this section of Central Texas.

Settlement patterns follow the water and the boundary line between Menard and McCulloch counties. To the south, local history is anchored by the Hext Cem, situated near the confluence of Twomile Cr and the river. A network of rural lanes and county roads, including Butterfield Rd and Godfreys Rd, connects the scattered ranches and homesteads that populate the draws and hollows like Wilkerson Draw and Deadman Hollow.
