2022 Map of Ander

About this map

The crossroads community of Ander serves as a central point in this rural landscape where the boundaries of Goliad, DeWitt, and Victoria counties converge. The geography is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages, including Eighteenmile Cr, Fifteenmile Cr, and the colorfully named Hog Thief Cr. This area preserves a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as San Jose Cem and Franklin Cem, which suggest a long history of generational land ownership. The presence of Saint Peters Lutheran Church Cem near the town center points to the area's European immigrant heritage, a common thread in this portion of South Texas. Navigating these creek-threaded plains involves a web of local routes like Fox Rd and Danforth Rd, tracing old property lines across the three-county junction.
