1963 Map of Meyersville

About this map

Twelvemile Creek and its many tributaries, including Hog Branch and Boggy Branch, define the rural landscape of south-central Texas in this mid-1960s survey. The area is characterized by scattered settlements and localized energy production, notably the Arneckeville Gas Field and Meyersville Gas Field. Community life centers on the villages of Meyersville, Upper Meyersville, and Arneckeville, where historical landmarks such as St Johns Ch and St Peter and Pauls Ch are located. For genealogists, the map identifies specific local institutions like De Witt Sch and the St Joseph Cem. The presence of numerous Gravel Pits and various oil fields throughout the basin highlights the extractive industries that shaped the local economy alongside traditional agriculture. This edition, revised in the early 1980s, captures the persisting rural character as the county lines of De Witt, Goliad, and Victoria converge.
