About this map

San Saba serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated at the confluence where the San Saba River nears its junction with the Colorado River. The town layout includes the local Courthouse, a Baseball Field, and a Landing Strip to the north, while the Gulf Colorado and Santa Fe RR cuts across the northern territory.

The surrounding rural landscape is defined by its water sources and family landmarks, featuring numerous stock tanks like Big Silly Tank and Little Silly Tank. Cultural history is preserved in several rural congregations and burial grounds, such as High Valley Ch, Rough Creek Ch, and Pecan Grove Cem. Toward the east, the terrain becomes more distinct with features like Traywick Ridge and Round Mtn, leading toward the small settlement at Mc Anelly and the cattle operations at Robinson Ranch.
