2022 Map of Smiley

About this map

The town of Smiley serves as the focal point for this section of Gonzales County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Sandies Cr and its numerous tributaries. A significant concentration of historical burial sites suggests a long-established rural community structure, including the Smiley Masonic Cem, Union Hill Cem, and the Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Cem. The drainage patterns of Little Elm Cr and Clear Fork Cr converge toward Patterson Lake, illustrating the hydraulic character of this south-central Texas terrain. While the town center shows a traditional grid with streets like Wheat and Bundick, the surrounding area remains largely agricultural, connected by a network of county roads and farm-to-market routes. Unique local landmarks, such as the Racetrack south of the main highway, provide specific points of interest for those studying the area's twentieth-century land use and social history.
