1964 Map of Waelder

About this map

The Southern Pacific railroad corridor serves as the primary axis for this portion of eastern Gonzales County, anchoring the town of Waelder. The local community is centered on the Waelder School, St Patricks church, and the City Cemetery, reflecting a settled landscape of mid-century rural Texas. Outside the town center, the terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses including Elm Creek, Sandy Fork, and Baldridge Creek, which carve through the undulating land.
