About this map

Meyersville and its neighbor Upper Meyersville anchor this 1963 survey of the South Texas prairie near the De Witt and Goliad County line. The landscape is a distinct mix of agricultural tradition and mid-century industrial development, where quiet landmarks like St Johns Ch, St Peter and Pauls Ch, and the De Witt Sch stand alongside the sprawling Arneckeville Gas Field and Meyersville Gas Field.

Natural drainage patterns define the territory, with Twelvemile Creek, Fivemile Creek, and Fifteenmile Creek carving paths through the rolling terrain. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and scattered oil wells suggests an era of active resource extraction. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of rural centers like Arneckeville and the St Joseph Cem, situated just west of Cottonwood Creek.
