2016 Map of Cheapside

About this map

Cheapside sits at the intersection of local routes in a landscape defined by the drainage systems of southern Gonzales and northern DeWitt counties. This survey shows the area's rural character, where small family-named cemeteries such as Gates Cem and Mount Enon Cem serve as long-standing markers of early Texas settlement patterns. The topography is shaped by various waterways, including the winding course of Five Mile Cr and Sandies Cr, which create the low-lying basins for McMannis Lake and Hickory Lake. The terrain transitions from the broader valleys of Howell Hollow to the smaller tributaries of Brushy Cr and Salty Cr, reflecting the agricultural and ranching history that has sustained this portion of the coastal plains for generations.
