1985 Map of San Saba

About this map

The Colorado River snakes through the heart of this Central Texas landscape, defining the boundaries between San Saba and Mills counties as it flows toward the southeast. The mid-1980s terrain is marked by the distinct uplands of Brady Mountain and numerous peaks such as Castle Top Peak and Twin Sister Peaks. Transportation and commerce are anchored by the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR, which connects established cattle and agricultural hubs like Goldthwaite, Lometa, and the county seat at San Saba. Smaller, localized settlements such as Durenville, Skeeterville, and Algerita appear along the regional highway network of U.S. Hwy 190 and State Hwy 16. For the genealogist, the map preserves locations of rural life including the Oak Hill Cem and various unnamed School sites that served these dispersed communities before the turn of the century.
