1965 Map of Moulton

About this map

The town of Moulton serves as the focal point of this Central Texas landscape, situated where the Southern Pacific railroad meets the winding waters of the Lavaca River. The map reveals a distinct shift in settlement patterns, showing the relationship between the established town and the nearby site of Old Moulton. This area of Lavaca and Gonzales counties is marked by a network of creek branches, including Nickel Creek, Ben Branch, and Sulphur Creek, which carve through the terrain between prominent landmarks like Frederick Mound. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local burial sites such as Slavonic Cem, Stonewall Cem, and Burkett Cem. The presence of an old railroad grade near the southern boundary provides a tangible trace of earlier transportation corridors that once linked small communities like Henkhaus and Dilworth to the regional economy.
