About this map

San Saba serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, positioned where the San Saba River meanders eastward through a network of creeks and springs. The town's grid is anchored by the San Saba County Courthouse, with neighborhoods extending toward the San Saba City Cem and the San Saba County Municipal Airport to the north. The surrounding countryside is defined by a series of family-named burial grounds, including the John Humphrey Shorty Brown Cem and Linn Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of the county.

Water plays a critical role in the topography here, with Simpson Cr and Barnett Springs Cr draining the elevated terrain south of town. Notable landmarks like Fivemile Hill and Chapel Hill rise above the drainage basins of Dry Simpson Cr and Flemming Springs Br. The map also details numerous ranching features such as Tripp Tank and Watson-Miller Tank, highlighting the area's agricultural reliance on surface water management in the Edwards Plateau region.
