2016 Map of Leesville

About this map

Leesville and the community of Bebe anchor this landscape in western Gonzales County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages feeding toward the Guadalupe River. The settlement pattern is largely rural, with a remarkable concentration of family and community burial grounds scattered throughout the quadrangle. These include the Ellis-Nance, Stroman, Holmes, and Liberty cemeteries, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in this part of South Texas. The hydrology of the area is equally complex, featuring Lake Gonzales in the northeast and Lake Pruett in the southwest, connected by numerous named tributaries such as Sugar Cr, O'Neal Cr, and Burroughs Cr. Transport is facilitated by farm-to-market roads like FM 466 and FM 1682, which weave through the varied elevations and creek bottoms.
