About this map

The town of Waelder sits at the nexus of several creek systems in the northeastern corner of Gonzales County, where the landscape is carved by Sandy Fork, Baldridge Cr, and Copperas Cr. This 2022 survey details a dense concentration of local burial grounds within the immediate vicinity of the settlement, including the Hopkinsville Masonic Cem, Waelder Community Cem, and the Waelder Cementerio Bautista.

The presence of these distinct cemeteries, alongside the Waelder City Cem and the more remote McVea Cem to the northeast, provides significant genealogical value for researchers tracing family ties in the area. The local transportation network is well-defined by farm-to-market roads like FM 1296 and FM 1115, which connect the town to the surrounding agricultural fields and the Fayette County line to the east.
