About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders across this corner of Gonzales County, shaping a landscape defined by its many tributary creeks and sloughs. Small rural clusters and agricultural settlements like Hamon and Glaze City punctuate the terrain, connected by a network of county roads that navigate the floodplain and rising ground. To the north, the Dilworth community is centered near the Dilworth Cem, providing a focal point for local genealogical interest.

The drainage patterns are particularly intricate here, with Peach Cr, Kokernot Br, and Elm Slough feeding into the main river channel. The map also captures the low-lying Turkey Bottom near the confluence of Boggy Cr, illustrating the typical river-bottom geography of the Texas coastal plains. These watercourses and the relative placement of family-named roads offer a clear view of the area's twentieth-century rural layout.
