2019 Map of Verhelle

About this map

The Guadalupe River winds through the heart of this DeWitt County landscape, shaping a terrain defined by complex creek systems and rural landholdings. Near the small settlement of Verhelle, the topography transitions into notable features like Crittendon Hollow and a series of water bodies including Berry Pond and Flag Pond. The map reveals a high concentration of burial sites that speak to the area’s genealogy and community history, from the Thomaston Community Cem to the Panteon San Isidro Labrador Cem. This network of local history is further evidenced by family-named infrastructure such as Burns Station Cemetery Rd and Redies Rd, illustrating how early ranching and farming tracks became the modern road network. Numerous drainage systems, such as Sandy Fork and Irish Cr, crisscross the region, highlighting the importance of water management in this part of Texas.
