About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders across this landscape, defining the rural character of the border between DeWitt and Victoria counties. This region is anchored by the small settlements of Thomaston in the north and Mission Valley further south, connected by a network of ranch-to-market roads like FM 236 and the winding Thomaston River Rd. The terrain is deeply etched by a series of tributaries, including Twelvemile Cr and Rocky Cr, which flow through cattle-raising country and wooded bottomlands.

For genealogists and local historians, the map is remarkably dense with legacy burial sites. From the Murphee Family Cem to the split Mission Valley Community Cem - East and Mission Valley Community Cem - West, these locations pinpoint the early family holdings and community centers of the Guadalupe valley. The presence of San Miguel Cem near the northern boundary further underscores the deep-rooted cultural heritage of this South Texas river corridor.
