2022 Map of Tow

About this map

Tow sits at the northern reaches of Lake Buchanan, where the Colorado River enters the reservoir at the tri-county junction of Llano, Burnet, and San Saba. This modern survey illustrates the hydrologic character of the Texas Hill Country, dominated by the sprawling waters of the lake and its complex backwaters like Willow Slough and Chimney Slough. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks into prominent elevations including Chism Bluff, Indian Mtn, and the Ellenburger Hills. This area is particularly noted for its natural water sources, with Boiling Springs, Falls Creek Spring, and Morgan Springs all feeding into the local drainage. Local history is anchored at the Tow Cem, providing a focal point for genealogical researchers interested in this community. The map also delineates the numerous creeks, such as Beaver Creek and Jennings Cr, that carve through the surrounding limestone uplands.
