About this map

Schulenburg serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, situated just north of the Fayette Co and Lavaca Co boundary line. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and family-named routes like Freyburg Hall Rd and W Blaschke Rd, which connect numerous rural burial grounds and parish sites. The distribution of these sites, including the Old High Hill Cem and Saint Marys Catholic Cem, reflects the deep-rooted settlement patterns of the German and Czech communities that populated the region.

The terrain is carved by the W Navidad River and its many tributaries, such as Rocky Cr, Brushy Cr, and Mulberry Cr. These waterways create a undulating landscape that historically dictated the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries like the Fitzgerald Cem. The map captures the meeting of traditional rural life with modern infrastructure, as the east-west corridor of Interstate 10 bisects the older grid of the township.
