About this map

Goliad serves as the focal point of this South Texas landscape, situated at a bend in the San Antonio River where several watercourses converge. The map documents a dense concentration of burial grounds surrounding the town, including Lott Cem, Wisbey Cem, and Glendale Cem, which provide significant value for genealogical research in this long-settled region. To the south, Rubio Cristo Rey Cem and Flores Cem sit near the riverbanks, reflecting the area's deep historical and cultural roots.

The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, such as Manahuilla Cr, Dry Cr, and Mud Cr, which carve through the geography to create features like Post Oak Hollow and Whaley Hollow. The road network radiates from the town center, with routes like FM 1726 and Old Goliad Rd connecting the core to the outlying ranch and agricultural lands. This survey captures the modern layout of the town's grid, from W Oak St to W Fannin St, while maintaining the context of the natural river valley.
