2019 Map of Gillett

About this map

The settlement of Gillett sits at the intersection of farm-to-market roads and county routes in this 2019 survey of the South Texas brush country. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Ecleto Cr, which meanders through the western half of the quadrangle, joined by tributaries such as Elm Cr and Shockley Cr. To the north, the community of Pandora marks the boundary near the Wilson and Karnes County line. The area's land use is characterized by large estates and ranches, evidenced by the private waters of Coates Estate Lake Number 1, Coates Estate Lake Number 2, and El Negro Ranch Lake. Aviators and local historians will note Bailey Airport situated on the western edge of the map, while topographic features like Tom White Hollow and Mustang Cr provide distinct landmarks for those studying the drainage patterns and historical property lines of this rural ranching region.
