About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders across this South Texas landscape, defining the boundary between Gonzales and DeWitt counties. The small settlement of Hochheim serves as a local hub, situated at a junction near where the river creates a complex series of oxbows and bends. To the north lies the community of Dreyer, while the name John Chilek appears as a distinct landmark near the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on this sheet, including Ebenezer Cem in the west and the Sons of Herman Cem near the eastern edge. A network of rural routes like Turkey Bottom Rd and City of Hochheim Rd connect scattered homesteads across a terrain drained by numerous tributaries, such as Denton Cr, Boggy Cr, and McCoy Cr. This survey captures the rural continuity of the region, where land use remains closely tied to the river's winding path.
