2010 Map of Schroeder

About this map

Schroeder sits at the heart of this Goliad County landscape, where the rural tradition of South Texas is marked by numerous family and community burial grounds. Genealogists can trace local heritage through the Mistletoe Cemetery, Berger Cemetery, Woodlawn Cemetery, and Mission Valley Cemetery, which are scattered among the ranch lands and creek bottoms. The geography is defined by the winding course of Coleto Creek, which feeds into the significant Coleto Creek Cooling Pond in the southeast. Numerous smaller tributaries with evocative names, such as Hog Thief Creek, Gobbler Creek, and Fifteenmile Creek, create a dendritic drainage pattern across the coastal plain. In the lower reaches of the map, the small settlement of Coletoville marks the transition toward the larger water impoundments, served by a network of farm-to-market roads and local lanes like Kolodzey Rd and Chris Thompson Rd.
