About this map

The D'Hanis Historic District serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, where the settlement of D'Hanis is situated near the convergence of several major drainage systems. The map documents a territory defined by its water management and ranching heritage, featuring numerous dams and reservoirs such as Texas No Name Number 5 Dam, Primos Lake Dam, and Peacock Lake Dam. These man-made features support the agricultural life of the region, which is drained by the meandering courses of Seco Creek, West Squirrel Creek, and Parkers Creek.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the concentration of burial sites, including the Rothe Cemetery to the north, Cortez Cemetery near the center, and both Saint Dominic Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery situated south of the town center. Transportation patterns are clearly established by Old US Hwy 90 and Old Sabinal Rd, while the Squirrel Creek Ranch Airport to the south indicates the continued importance of private aviation in managing these large rural holdings.
