About this map

Terryville serves as the central hub of this South Texas landscape, where the rural character is defined by a dense network of watercourses and family-linked landmarks. The drainage of Big Brushy Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Brushy Creek and Tonqua Creek, dictates the placement of early roads and settlements. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, such as the County Line Cemetery, Cook Holland Cemetery, and the Terryville Cemetery located south of the main community.

Industrial activity is noted at the Brushy Creek Oil Field in the southeastern quadrant, a contrast to the agricultural surroundings. Roadways like Terryville Church RD and Hebron Church RD lead to local spiritual centers like Hebron Church, illustrating the community-centric development of DeWitt County. The map also records numerous small water bodies and specific crossings like Cattle Guard RD, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to ranching and petroleum extraction at the turn of the 21st century.
