2010 Map of San Saba Peak

About this map

San Saba Peak and Green Mountain dominate the local topography north of a broad bend in the Colorado River during this 2010 survey of Mills County. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course and its many tributaries, including Nabors Creek, Shaw Creek, and Elliott Creek. Human presence is marked by scattered markers of local history such as the Nabors Creek Cemetery and Shaw Bend Cemetery, alongside the small settlement of Castor in the northeast. The presence of Edwards Airport and Double Ford indicates the region’s reliance on both modern and traditional transit points across the rugged Texas terrain. Water management is evident at Dyer Lake Dam, while names like Vinegar Hill and Rye Valley provide character to the rural ranching and farming lands characteristic of this part of Central Texas.
