2022 Map of Cheapside

About this map

Cheapside sits near the intersection of several rural routes on the border of Gonzales and DeWitt counties, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by deep creek valleys and family burial grounds. The settlement is surrounded by watercourses like Sandies Cr and Brushy Cr, which carve through the terrain and create features such as Howell Hollow. This area is particularly rich in genealogical data, preserving the locations of several historic cemeteries including Bellview Cem, Gates Cem, and Mount Efron Cem. The drainage patterns are further marked by Fivemile Lake and Hickory Lake, while a network of county roads like Co RD 298 and Co RD 192 connects the scattered homesteads and pastures that have characterized this part of South Texas for generations.
