About this map

Wrightsboro and the settlement of Pilgrim anchor this rural landscape in Gonzales County, defined by a dense network of seasonal and perennial waterways. The southern portion of the map is characterized by a series of distinct water bodies, including Pilgrim Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Seeny Lake, which lie near the winding path of Sandies Creek. This hydrology suggests a low-lying floodplain area where water naturally pools, creating landmarks like Claybottom Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Clabber Town Cemetery in the western reaches, situated near the headwaters of Salty Creek. The terrain rises toward the south at Windy Hill, overlooking the various creek branches such as Buckhorn Creek and Putnam Branch that feed into the larger regional drainage system. The area remains dominated by a rural road network, including FM-1116 and FM-108, connecting these isolated communities and family sites.
