The Llano River forms the southern boundary of Mason County, and the San Saba River flows through the northern reaches. The terrain is classic Hill Country granite and limestone, with live oak motts, cedar brakes, and open grasslands supporting exceptional wildlife populations including the state's highest concentration of whitetail deer per square mile.
