About this map

George West serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, where the Live Oak County Courthouse stands as a central landmark for the region. The area is defined by the winding course of the Nueces River, which creates a complex network of drainage features including Timon Cr, Spring Cr, and McKinzey Cr. This modern survey illustrates how local infrastructure, such as the Live Oak County Airport, integrates with the traditional ranching and rural landscape of the Brush Country.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds throughout the countryside. Beyond the primary George West Cem, the map documents several smaller sites including Gussettville Cem, Goynes Junction Cem, and Simonson Family Cem. These sites, along with terrain features like Ramie Hollow and Gamble Gully, reveal the enduring footprints of early settlers across the Live Oak County terrain.
