2013 Map of Goliad

About this map

Goliad serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, where the San Antonio River winds past several of the state’s most significant colonial sites. The map clearly identifies the Goliad County Courthouse Historic District at the town center, while providing detailed locations for the Mission Nuestra Senora del Rosario to the west and the Presidio La Bahia and Presidio Nuestra Senora de Loreto de la Bahia to the south. This concentration of Spanish colonial and early Texas Republic landmarks illustrates the strategic importance of this river crossing. Beyond the town, the terrain is defined by drainages like Manahuilla Cr and Cabeza Cr, punctuated by ranching infrastructure such as the Farley Windmill and Matt Windmill. Several local cemeteries, including Glendale Cem and Wisbey Cem, are noted throughout the surrounding rural landscape.
