About this map

The San Marcos River snakes through this Gonzales County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by its complex hydrology and scattered rural settlements. Along the river's northern bends, the community of Ottine serves as a focal point, situated near Glasscock Lake and the prominent elevation of Red Hill. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as McKeller Cem and Princeville Cem, which are tucked away among the many creek drainages like Mule Cr and Artesia Cr.

Southward, the settlement of Slayden and the smaller clusters at Saint James and Smithville highlight the area's agricultural character. An intricate network of county roads connects these sites, crossing waterways like Canoe Cr and Answorth Br. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the rural cemetery locations and land-use patterns that have persisted around the river bottoms and Lake Gonzales.
