1961 Map of Sample

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Sandies Creek and its many tributaries, including Elm Creek and Shoats Creek, define the rolling drainage patterns across the border of Gonzales and De Witt counties. The small settlement of Sample serves as the focal point of this rural landscape, situated along the Southern Pacific railroad line. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial grounds like Sample Cem and Billings Cem, which provide clues to the families who settled this agricultural region. The terrain is marked by significant natural landmarks like Van Cleave Mound and industrial activity evidenced by a Quarry and Gravel Pits near the rail corridor. This 1961 survey captures the area before modern consolidation, showing the intricate network of unimproved roads and intermittent streams that dictated the layout of local farms and homesteads.
