2022 Map of San Saba Peak

About this map

San Saba Peak dominates the high ground of the north-central region, overlooking a complex drainage system that feeds into the Colorado River to the south. This rugged portion of Central Texas is defined by the borders of Mills, San Saba, and Lampasas counties, where the river carves through the landscape near Shaw Bend. Local family history is rooted in the presence of the Nabors Creek Cem and Shaw Bend Cem, which sit amidst a network of creeks including Mosley Cr, Nabors Cr, and Shaw Cr. Small airfields like Edwards Airport and the settlement of Castor punctuate the rangeland. The terrain varies from the elevations of Green Mtn and Vinegar Hill to the low stretches of Rye Valley, reflecting a traditional Texas landscape of ranching and remote county roads.
