1963 Map of Bald Mound

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The convergence of Gonzales, Wilson, and Karnes counties defines this rural South Texas landscape, marked by a dense network of watercourses and topographical rises. A series of drainages, including Elm Creek, Brushy Creek, and Mustang Creek, wind through the terrain, punctuated by the distinctive elevations of Bald Mound and Rocky Mound. The map reveals a pastoral economy supported by specialized landmarks like an Oil Well and a Flowing Well, while industrial activity is noted at a southern Quarry and scattered Gravel Pits. Local history is anchored by a rural Cem, providing a focal point for genealogists researching the families who settled this tri-county intersection. The presence of numerous named branches, such as Rusten Branch and Panther Branch, suggests a finely-divided land usage pattern where seasonal water access was critical for livestock and agriculture.
