About this map

Saint Louis Cemetery and Holy Cross Cemetery sit on the outskirts of a region defined by agricultural traditions and emerging energy production. This DeWitt County landscape in the early 21st century remains anchored by its history, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds such as the Menn-Treude Cemetery and the Captain York Cemetery. The map reveals a transition toward industrial land use with the established Yorktown Gas Field and Henze Oil Field peppering the countryside.

A complex network of drainages including Fifteenmile Creek and Twelvemile Creek carves through the terrain, dictating the placement of rural corridors like Lee Alves Rd and Dobskyville Rd. The presence of the Yorktown Airport north of Smith Creek highlights the local infrastructure supporting this part of South Texas, while family-named routes such as Emil Zielonka Rd and Ernest Lemke Rd provide valuable clues for genealogists tracing local land ownership and lineage.
