About this map

The town of Nixon anchors the southeast corner of this survey, where a network of rural roads extends into the agricultural landscape of Gonzales County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Clear Fork Creek and its various tributaries, including Nose Creek and Tally Branch, which drain towards the larger Ecleto Creek in the southwest. Small settlements like Pandora and Union are connected by a series of Farm to Market roads and county routes that trace the historical development of these farming communities.

Genealogists will find several burial sites distributed across the countryside, such as Dewville Cemetery in the north and the White Rancho Cemetery further south. Near the main settlement, Nixon Cemetery and Demmer Cemetery provide significant local records of the area's families. The distribution of these sites alongside watercourses like Willow Creek reflects a settlement pattern closely tied to the natural drainage systems and the early road network of south-central Texas.
