About this map

Thomas Springs and Kings Hill anchor this rural landscape along the border of Guadalupe and Wilson counties. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creeks, including E Fork Ecleto Cr, Cottonwood Cr, and Sandies Cr. This modern survey reflects the enduring pastoral character of south-central Texas, where large landholdings are accessed by a web of local roads such as Old Colony Rd, Uncle Dicks Rd, and Sandy Oaks Dr.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of several local burial grounds, specifically Jakes Colony Cem, Tabor Cem, and the two distinct sites of Zion Hill Cem 1 and Zion Hill Cem Number Two. These features, along with names like Guenther Ln and Hysaw Rd, provide clues to the family histories and settlement patterns of the small communities that have long occupied this prairie-and-creek terrain.
