2016 Map of Gonzales South

About this map

The confluence of the San Marcos River and the Guadalupe River serves as the focal point for this section of South Texas, just downstream from the town of Gonzales. The landscape is defined by the winding river systems and several smaller bodies of water, including Gonzales Lake, Wood Lake, and Stahl Lake. Away from the river bottoms, the terrain rises toward Santa Anna Mound, a prominent local landmark. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family and community burial grounds, such as DeWitt Cem, Union Cem, and the uniquely named Carson - Powe - Gescheidle Cem. The rural settlement patterns are further illustrated by the presence of Summerville and Terrysville, connected by a network of farm roads and county routes like FM 1116 and Co RD 192 that traverse the rolling ranch lands and creek drainages including Cross Timber Cr and Sudberry Cr.
