About this map

Edgar and Stratton anchor this corner of DeWitt County, where the Texas coastal plain begins its slow climb toward the interior. The landscape is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and local tanks, including Irish Cr, Willow Prong, and the larger Little Brushy Cr. The map reveals a deeply rooted rural infrastructure of family-named roads such as Kaiser Adams Rd and Matthew Adams Rd, which connect long-established local landmarks.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle. From the Evergreen Cem in the northwest to Leesville Cem and Alexander Cem further south, these locations mark the early settlement patterns of the region. The map also documents modern land use through features like Flying F Ranch Lake and the various cattle tanks such as Windmill Tank, illustrating the continued importance of ranching in this part of Texas.
