2016 Map of Yorktown East

About this map

Yorktown anchors the northwestern corner of this South Texas landscape, where residential streets like E Main St and S Nau St transition into a rural network of county roads. The area is notable for its high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Captain York Cem and Menn-Treude Cem, which offer significant genealogical value for researchers of DeWitt County families. The terrain is defined by a dendritic drainage pattern flowing toward the DeWitt and Goliad county line. Numerous named waterways, such as Fifteenmile Cr, Twelvemile Cr, and Shiloh Cr, carve through the countryside, dictating the placement of historic farm-to-market routes like FM 237 and FM 2718. This mapping reflects a land still deeply tied to its agricultural roots and ancestral homesteads.
