About this map

Kubala Store stands as a focal point in this rural DeWitt County landscape, where the agricultural legacy of central Texas is written in the names of family-run operations like the Warzecha Ranch, Respondek Ranch, and Lippke Ranch. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages including Shiloh Creek, Blackjack Creek, and Anderson Creek that feed into the local hydrology.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks such as the Woods Cemetery and remnants of local infrastructure like Metting School Rd and Old Yorktown Rd. The map also identifies Mustang Mott in the northern section, a term often used in Texas to describe a distinct grove of trees on the prairie. This survey provides a precise look at the transition of ranching lands at the start of the 21st century.
