About this map

The community of Tow sits at the western edge of Lake Buchanan, where the waters of the Colorado River have reshaped the Llano County landscape. This 2012 survey illustrates the transition from the upland Ellenburger Hills and Buffalo Prairie down to the reservoir's complex shoreline, marked by features like Willow Slough and Chimney Slough. The local geography is defined by numerous drainage systems, including Fall Cr and Marley Cr, which feed into the main river channel before it reaches the lake.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Tow Cem and trace old transit routes like Ranch Road 2241 and Llano-Tow Valley Rd. Further north, the map identifies small settlements and landmarks such as Tanyard and Wolf Cabin, alongside natural features like Boiling Springs and Chism Bluff. The inclusion of various creek systems like Buzzards Roost Cr and Devils Hollow Cr provides a detailed view of the water-rich topography of this Central Texas region.
