About this map

Poteet serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the town grid meets a network of country roads and drainage basins. The area is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, reflecting a deeply rooted local genealogy and a history of family-named settlements. From the Herrera Cem and Willborn Cem in the west to the Shiloh Cem in the northeast, these sites anchor the rural landscape.

Hydrologically, the Atascosa River and its various tributaries like Galvan Cr, Elm Cr, and Agua Negra Cr shape the movement of travel and agriculture. The presence of the Maurice Dauwe Farm Airport and several distinct hollows, such as Rutledge Hollow, highlights the mix of private land use and natural terrain. Northwest of the main town site, the smaller community of Ditto sits near the headwaters of local creeks, illustrating the dispersed nature of early Atascosa County development.
