About this map

Goliad serves as the focal point of this South Texas survey, situated where the San Antonio River carves a sharp turn at Horseshoe Bend. The town's deep heritage is represented by the Goliad County Courthouse Historic District and the colonial-era Presidio La Bahia and Mission Nuestra Senora del Rosario to the south. These landmarks, alongside numerous burial grounds such as Glendale Cemetery and Wisbey Cemetery, anchor the landscape in the early 21st century.

The surrounding countryside is defined by a network of drainage systems like Manahuilla Creek and Cabeza Creek, which cut through terrain featuring Whaley Hollow and Post Oak Hollow. The agricultural character of the area remains evident through scattered infrastructure, including the Farley Windmill and River Windmill. This map provides a clear view of the transition from the structured grid of the county seat to the sprawling ranchlands and creek beds of the coastal plain.
