1962 Map of Dewville

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Capote Hills and the prominent Capote Knob rise above the intersection of Guadalupe, Gonzales, and Wilson counties, defining a landscape of ranching and early petroleum exploration. This 1962 survey, updated with purple revisions in the 1980s, documents the rural settlement of Dewville at the southern edge of the sheet. The area is heavily defined by its drainage network, including Sandies Creek, Tidwell Creek, and O'Neal Creek, which cut through the terrain alongside named hollows. Genealogical markers are found at the Dewville Cem and Sandy Chapel Cem, while the local economy is evidenced by scattered Oil Wells, a Landing Strip, and established holdings like Escondido Ranch and Quien Sabe Ranch. The presence of several flowing wells and a network of jeep trails suggests a remote landscape that remained focused on livestock and land management throughout the mid-20th century.
