2019 Map of Leesville

About this map

Leesville and Bebe serve as the primary anchors for this rural Gonzales County landscape, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of tributaries flowing toward the Guadalupe River. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Ellis-Nance Cem, Stroman Cem, and Antioch Cem, which suggest a long-established pattern of local land ownership and lineage. This drainage system, including O'Neal Cr, Talley Br, and Sugar Cr, dictates the placement of farm-to-market roads like FM 466 and FM 1682. Small bodies of water like Lake Gonzales in the northeast and Lake Pruett in the southwest further punctuate the landscape, highlighting the importance of water management in this agricultural region. The distribution of sites like the Liberty Cem and Holmes Cem provides a clear view of the historical community clusters that once flourished between the river forks.
