About this map

Peach Creek and its many tributaries, including the Sandy Fork and Rocky Creek, dominate this landscape in eastern Gonzales County. The small community of Little New York is central to this 1962 survey, situated near the St James Cem and several small water bodies like Pogue Lake and Parker Lake. The terrain is characterized by broad alluvial features such as Pettit Flats and the elevated Pin Oak Mound.

Transportation history is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running through Dilworth in the south, while the name Comanche Crossing on Peach Creek hints at earlier river-fording points. Local social life is marked by rural congregational centers like Mt Eaton Ch near Hickston and Saturn Ch further west. These features, along with numerous named family landmarks like Rinehart Lake and Mooney Lake, provide a detailed look at the rural Texas settlement pattern before more modern development altered the creek-side communities.
