About this map

Ander serves as the central focal point for this rural landscape where Goliad, DeWitt, and Victoria Counties meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including the aptly named Hog-Thief Cr, Eighteenmile Cr, and Fifteenmile Cr, which carve through the coastal plain. The presence of several family-named burial sites, such as San Jose Cem, Franklin Cem, Danforth Cem, and Killibrew Cem, suggests a long-established ranching or farming community with deep generational roots.

Local transportation is dominated by a grid of named country lanes and farm-to-market roads, including Danforth Rd and Kilgore Rd, which connect scattered homesteads to the smaller settlements. The intersection of county boundaries near Fifteenmile Cr highlights the administrative importance of these watercourses in defining the borders of South Texas ranch land during this era of modern surveying.
