1961 Map of New Davy

About this map

New Davy and Gruenau anchor this rural landscape in DeWitt County during the early 1960s, a region defined by its complex drainage network and agricultural heritage. The terrain is deeply carved by the branching paths of Salt Creek, Little Salt Creek, and Yorktown Creek, creating a varied topography of ridges and draws. For family historians and researchers, the map provides precise locations for the National Cem and Sand Gate Cem, the latter situated near a namesake landmark. While predominantly rural, the presence of several Gravel Pit locations and a dedicated Gravel Pits area indicates the local extraction industry that supported road building across the county. This 1961 survey, later photorevised in 1987, also captures the three-way intersection of the Gonzales Co Karnes Co De Witt Co boundaries in the northwestern corner, illustrating the administrative geometry of the Texas coastal plain.
