About this map

San Jose and the surrounding brush country of Duval County are defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and family-named landmarks. This survey traces the paths of Jaboncillos Cr, Santa Gertrudis Cr, and Guajillo Cr through a landscape punctuated by numerous small burial grounds. These sites, including Bazan Cem, La Moda Cem, and Casas Cem, speak to the deep generational ties of the ranching communities that settled this part of South Texas.

Transportation through the region relies on a grid of county roads and state farm-to-market routes like FM 2295 and FM 1329. The infrastructure is modest, reflecting the rural character of the area where cattle ranching and land ownership patterns are etched into the map through features like Guajillo Rd and La Bandera Rd. The concentration of cemeteries, such as Ramirez Cem and Hinojosa Cem, provides significant data points for genealogists researching family lineages in this specific Texas corridor.
