About this map

Nixon serves as the primary hub of this South Texas landscape, situated right at the junction where Gonzales and Wilson counties meet. The settlement is defined by a dense grid of residential streets and local landmarks, including the historic Nixon Cem. To the west, the smaller community of Pandora sits along the roadway, marking a secondary point of settlement in an area otherwise dominated by cattle ranching and rural acreage.

The terrain is carved by a complex network of seasonal waterways, most notably Clear Fork Cr and Ecleto Cr, which are fed by numerous small branches like Tally Br and Salt Br. For genealogists, the map is particularly valuable for its placement of isolated burial sites such as Dewville Cem in the north and White Rancho Cem further east, reflecting the scattered early pioneer heritage of this coastal plains region.
