About this map

Schroeder and the rolling bottomlands of Victoria County appear in this mid-1960s survey, updated with 1980s revisions. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of waterways, most notably Coleto Creek, which dominates the eastern half of the sheet, and smaller tributaries like Turkey Creek and Gibbs Creek. The distribution of rural landmarks, including St Lukes Ch and St Lukes Cem, reflects a deep-rooted community structure tied to the land.

A network of family-named roads such as Arnold Road and Nagel Road connects isolated homesteads to the village core. The map also records the local industrial footprint, with several Gravel Pit locations and a Gas Well punctuating the rural terrain. Geographers and local historians will note the specific placement of the Mistletoe Cem and Schroeder Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of Texas.
