About this map

The Guadalupe River and San Marcos River converge just north of this landscape, defining the water-rich geography of southern Gonzales County. This 2010 survey illustrates a rural region where ranch roads like Shelton Ranch Rd and state routes like FM 1116 connect small settlements and family lands. Notable for genealogists are several rural burial grounds scattered across the quadrangle, including the DeWitt Cemetery, Union Cemetery, Watson Cemetery, and Terrysville Cemetery.

The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features such as Wood Lake, Stahl Lake, and the prominent Santa Anna Mound. The presence of the Gonzales Dam and Wood Lake Dam indicates the managed nature of the local waterways, while names like Summerville reflect the enduring small-scale settlement patterns of the area. This map provides a clear record of property access and land use near the beginning of the 21st century.
