2010 Map of Waelder

About this map

Waelder sits at the heart of this Gonzales County landscape, where the local street grid is defined by A Ave and H Ave. The area is characterized by a dense network of watercourses that drain the surrounding plains, including the long reaches of Baldridge Creek and Boggy Creek. A notable alternative spelling of the primary settlement appears as Welder, reflecting the phonetic history of the local nomenclature. Outside the town center, the land is etched with numerous rural routes such as Sparta Field Rd and FM 1296, connecting outlying farms and ranchlands. To the west, the Janecka Lake Dam provides a localized water control point along the drainage basin that feeds into the Sandy Fork. This 2010 survey illustrates the modern road network, including the high-speed transit corridor that bypasses the historic town center, while numerous smaller streams like Pecan Creek and Reed Branch continue to define the original property boundaries and topography.
