About this map

Leesville anchors this survey of southwestern Gonzales County, where the topography is defined by the winding course of the Guadalupe River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is notably dense with burial grounds that reflect the complex social history of the region, including the Askey Cem African American, Leesville Latin American Cem, and family-named sites like Ellis-Nance Cem.

A network of local roads such as Co RD 102 and FM 466 connects these isolated landmarks with the small settlement of Bebe. The drainage patterns of Dullnig Creek and Yow Br reveal the natural contours of the ranching country, while the proximity of Lake Gonzales at the northern edge provides a clear look at the regional water management systems. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered locations of Palestine Church Cem and Caraway Cem, which serve as markers for the area's rural heritage.
