About this map

Wrightsboro and Pilgrim anchor this rural landscape in Gonzales County, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of creek drainages and small oxbow lakes. The Sandies Cr corridor winds through the southern half of the sheet, feeding into a series of water bodies including Seeny Lake, Claybottom Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. The drainage pattern suggests a seasonally active floodplain where the land undulates toward elevations like Windy Hill.

Local history is centered on landmarks such as the Clabber Town Cem located along FM 108 N, a primary north-south artery. The map reflects a classic Texas ranching and agricultural layout, with long-standing county roads like Co RD 209 and Co RD 118 S connecting scattered homesteads. Notable water features like Pilgrim Lake and the convergence of Salty Cr and Sugar Cr emphasize the importance of water management in this part of the state.
