2022 Map of Gillett

About this map

Pandora and Gillett anchor this South Texas landscape where the boundaries of Wilson, Gonzales, and Karnes counties converge. The terrain is defined by the dendritic drainage of Ecleto Cr and Elm Cr, alongside smaller tributaries like Shockley Cr and Mustang Cr that carve through the ranchland. Local history is preserved in the small burial grounds of Ford Family Cem and the Gillett Cem, while the presence of Bailey Airport suggests the importance of private aviation in managing these rural Texas estates. Large private water features, including Coates Estate Lake Number 1 and El Negro Ranch Lake, punctuate the draws and hollows such as Tom White Hollow, reflecting the region's managed pastoral economy. The map traces a network of farm-to-market and county roads that connect these isolated agricultural nodes and family holdings.
