About this map

Gruenau and New Davy anchor this rural landscape in DeWitt County, where the network of local roads reveals a deep history of family landholdings and community centers. The map depicts a territory defined by its complex drainage systems, including the headwaters of Fifteenmile Coleto Creek and the meandering paths of Yorktown Creek and Salt Creek. These waterways historically dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural boundaries in this part of Texas.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific placement of the Sand Gate Cemetery and House Cemetery, as well as named thoroughfares that hint at former community landmarks, such as Gohlke School Rd and Salt Creek Cemetery Rd. The alignment of A Metting Rd, Gus Meyer Rd, and Harvey Hahn Rd further reflects the legacy of the families who established the ranches and farms that have shaped this region for generations.
