1959 Map of Cost

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Historical Monument marks a pivotal site in Texas history along the Guadalupe River, where the first conflict of the revolution began. This 1950s survey documents a landscape defined by the river’s winding course, which feeds into Lake Gonzales and Wood Lake. Small agrarian communities like Monthalia and Cost are central to the area, supported by local institutions such as Monthalia Ch and Cost Sch. Further south, the settlement of Wrightsboro sits near the confluence of Alligator Creek and Brushy Creek. The map also captures specialized land use, including the Texas A & M College Experimental Station No 21 and several scattered Gravel Pits, illustrating the mix of academic research and extractive industry present in Gonzales County during the mid-20th century.
