2019 Map of New Ulm

About this map

New Ulm and Nelsonville anchor this Austin County landscape, where the rolling Texas countryside is marked by a high density of family and community burial grounds. This distribution of small, often farm-based cemeteries like the William Lewis Shelburne Farm Cem and Zettel Cem suggests a long-established rural settlement pattern defined by multi-generational family landholdings. In the northern reaches, the town of Industry sits near the headwaters of W Mill Cr, while the central terrain is dissected by an intricate network of waterways including Sandy Cr and Post Oak Point Cr. The road network, comprising routes like FM 109 and Fordtran Blvd, connects these scattered settlements across a landscape still primarily defined by its creeks and farmsteads rather than heavy industrial development.
