About this map

The Lavaca River and its numerous tributaries, including the W Prong Lavaca River, define this South Texas landscape along the border of Gonzales and Lavaca counties. The town of Moulton serves as the primary hub, showing a clear grid of residential streets like Pecan St and Main St. The map reveals the historical progression of local settlement, specifically the distance between the modern town site and the original community at Old Moulton to the northwest.

Rural life is marked by several small, distinct communities such as Nickel and Henkhaus, and family or community landmarks like Frederick Mound. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Slavonic Cem, Stonewall Cem, and the Burkett Cem. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of creeks like Kuehns Cr and Vanham Cr, illustrating the drainage patterns that shaped local ranching and agriculture.
