2013 Map of Gonzales North

About this map

The Gonzales Commercial Historic District anchors this region of Central Texas at the confluence of two major waterways. The San Marcos River flows into the Guadalupe River at the southwest corner of the map, a geographic position that historically defined the settlement of Gonzales. To the north, the landscape is shaped by a dense network of tributaries including Kerr Cr, Tinsley Cr, and Denton Cr, which cut through the farm and ranch lands. Local family legacies are visible in the naming of water bodies such as Halamicek Lake Number 1 and Winkenwerder Lake. Transportation and regional access are provided by the Roger M. Dreyer Memorial Airport, while smaller local landmarks like Camp Brazil Cem and Denton Creek Cem offer points of interest for genealogists tracing early residents in this historic county seat.
