1964 Map of Schroeder

About this map

The settlement of Schroeder serves as a focal point in this mid-century landscape where Goliad and Victoria counties meet. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal waterways including Hog Thief Creek, Gobbler Creek, and Turkey Creek, all feeding into the meandering course of Coleto Creek. Human presence is marked by rural infrastructure such as St Lukes Ch and scattered Gravel Pits, indicating a reliance on local materials for construction and road maintenance. To the east, the community of Coletoville is situated near several burial grounds including Mission Valley Cem and Woodlawn Cem. The presence of numerous wells and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the northern reaches reflects the region's involvement in energy extraction and resource transport during the early 1960s.
