2010 Map of Gonzales North

About this map

The Gonzales Commercial Historic District anchors the southern portion of this landscape, marking the historic core of Gonzales just north of the San Marcos River. This 2010 survey reflects a rural Texas terrain increasingly defined by agricultural water management, evidenced by numerous named reservoirs including Iley Lake, Winkenwerder Lake, and the Halamicek Lake Number 1 complex. Beyond the residential grid of Gonzales, the land is dissected by an intricate network of waterways such as North Fork Smith Creek and Mitchell Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named landmarks and resting places, most notably the Camp Brazil Cemetery and the Denton Creek Cemetery, which offer clues to the early settlement patterns of Gonzales County.
