About this map

DeWitt County's agricultural and energy landscape unfolds across this 2013 survey of the Yorktown area. The eastern outskirts of the city are defined by several historic burial grounds, including Saint Louis Cem, Holy Cross Cem, and Saint Paul Cem, while the surrounding rural landscape is dotted with smaller family or church sites like Rabke Cem and the Captain York Cem.

A network of local creeks including Yorktown Cr, Fifteenmile Cr, and Eighteenmile Cr carve through the terrain, which is simultaneously utilized for significant energy extraction. Several active zones are marked across the quadrangle, notably the Yorktown Gas Field and the Holly West Oil Field. The intersection of long-established farm-to-market roads like FM-237 and FM-884 reflects the enduring transportation patterns of this South Texas ranching and oil-producing region.
