1962 Map of Gonzales North

About this map

Gonzales serves as the focal point for this 1962 survey, situated at the historic confluence where the Guadalupe River meets the San Marcos River. The map illustrates a well-established community defined by its civic and spiritual infrastructure, including Edwards High Sch, North Ave Sch, and St James Ch. The surrounding landscape is etched with the drainage patterns of several tributaries, such as Tinsley Creek and Berry Creek, alongside an industrial footprint marked by Gravel Pits and the Southern Pacific railroad line. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the central Old Fellows Cem and Masonic Cem to the more outlying Denton Creek Cem. Traces of earlier transit remain visible via the Old Railroad Grade, providing a physical record of the region's evolving transportation network during the mid-20th century.
