About this map

Westhoff serves as the primary hub in this portion of DeWitt County, appearing as a organized settlement near the Gonzales Co De Witt Co line. The town's community structure is anchored by Westhoff High Sch and the nearby Westhoff Cem. Beyond the town site, the landscape is defined by an extensive drainage network, where Sandies Creek and its tributaries like Birds Creek and Thomas Hollow carve through the terrain.

An Old Railroad Grade indicates the path of former transit through the region, while the Du Bose Ranch Headquarters and various unnamed cemeteries, such as Bethlehem Cem, point to the rural family roots established here. Industrial activity is visible in the form of a Gravel Pit and Claypit, reflecting local resource extraction during the mid-century period. These details, including the St Aloysius Cem and its associated church site, provide a clear record of the area's agricultural and spiritual foundations.
