About this map

Wrightsboro anchors the northern boundary of this landscape, where the rural topography of Gonzales County is defined by an intricate network of waterways. The drainage pattern is led by the winding Sandies Creek, which collects numerous tributaries including Salty Creek, Alligator Creek, and Putnam Branch. In the southern reaches, the terrain levels out into a series of distinct water bodies such as Seeny Lake, Claybottom Lake, and the curved Horseshoe Lake near Pilgrim Lake.

For genealogists and local historians, the Clabber Town Cemetery stands as a significant landmark in the western portion of the map, situated near Buckhorn Creek. The transition from the elevated Windy Hill in the southeast to the creek-fed lowlands illustrates the traditional agricultural and ranching layout of the region. The map tracks a web of farm-to-market roads and county routes, including FM 1116 and FM 108 S, which have historically connected these isolated settlements and family homesteads.
