About this map

The Guadalupe River and San Marcos River converge just north of the area shown here, creating a landscape of winding waterways and fertile bottomlands south of Gonzales. This modern survey reveals a countryside shaped by agriculture and multi-generational landholdings, where the topographic relief is punctuated by landmarks like Santa Anna Mound. The southern outskirts of the county seat give way to smaller clusters like Summerville, with the rural character of the district maintained by a network of county roads.

Family history is well-preserved through several distinct burial sites across the quadrangle, including the DeWitt Cem, Union Cem, and the compound Carson - Powe - Gescheidle Cem. Hydrological features like Stahl Lake and numerous drainage systems such as Cross Timber Cr and Five Mile Cr define the drainage patterns leading toward the Gulf Coast. The presence of the Terrysville Cem in the southeastern portion reflects the scattered settlement patterns typical of this part of Texas.
