1959 Map of Cost

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Historical Monument marks a pivotal site in Texas history near the winding course of the Guadalupe River. This landscape in Gonzales County is defined by its agricultural and educational foundations, featuring the Texas A & M College Experimental Station No 21 and the rural center of Cost. The terrain is shaped by numerous waterways including Five Mile Creek and Cottonwood Creek, which flow through a region punctuated by small community hubs like Monthalia and Wrightsboro. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local landmarks such as Pecan Branch Cem, Oso Cem, and Monthalia Ch. The map also captures the local economy of the mid-20th century, noting several Poultry Farm locations and specialized infrastructure like the Artesian Well (Hot) and the Spillway Powerhouse on the river.
