About this map

Gruenau and New Davy anchor this rural landscape in DeWitt County, where the convergence of three county lines — Gonzales, Karnes, and DeWitt — defines the local geography. The area's settlement pattern is tied closely to its watercourses, including Fifteenmile Coletó Cr and the various branches of Salt Cr and Little Salt Cr. Family history is preserved at the House Cem and Sand Gate Cem, reflecting the generations of residents who established these small communities.

A network of local roads named for early families, such as Gus Meyer Rd, Emil Meyer Rd, and Frank Kozielski, provides insight into the landownership and social fabric of the region. The map illustrates how these routes connect isolated farmsteads across the gently undulating terrain between Clear Cr and Yorktown Cr. This survey documents a quiet Texas ranching and farming district defined by its namesake creeks and legacy road networks.
