About this map

Bald Mound and Rocky Mound serve as the primary topographical anchors for this section of South Texas, where the boundaries of Wilson, Gonzales, and Karnes counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creeks, including the winding paths of Elm Creek, Mound Cr, and Brushy Cr. These waterways cut through the countryside, creating a complex series of draws and ridges that have historically dictated the placement of local roads and property lines.

A network of county roads, such as Co RD 534 and Co RD 211, connects the dispersed farmsteads of this rural interior. Small landmarks like Kelly Lake and named tributaries such as Jack Pump Cr or Corral Cr provide specific points of interest for those researching local family land tracts. The transition from Wilson County into the neighboring jurisdictions is marked by distinct survey lines that cut diagonally across the drainage patterns of Mustang Cr and Rocky Cr.
