About this map

The small community of Dewville serves as the focal point for this rural landscape in the 2020s, situated near the boundary between Guadalupe and Gonzales counties. The area is defined by its numerous small drainages and hollows, including Sandies Creek, Tidwell Cr, and the distinctive Dukes Hollow. To the north, the terrain rises into the Capote Hills, marked by the prominent Capote Knob.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Dewville Cem and Sandies Chapel Cem, providing tangible links to the families who established these ranchlands. The road network, including FM 1117 and numerous family-named routes like Baty Ranch Rd and Vivroux Ranch Rd, illustrates a modern landscape still rooted in historical land divisions and agricultural use. Man-made water features like Quien Sabe Lake Number 2 dot the drainage basins, supporting the local livestock and ranching economy.
