About this map

The settlement of Yorktown serves as the focal point for this survey of DeWitt and Goliad counties, where a complex network of creeks defines the landscape. Waterways such as Yorktown Cr, Hoosier Cr, and Fifteenmile Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have influenced local land use for generations.

Genealogists will find this particular record invaluable due to the high density of small, named burial grounds scattered throughout the rural landscape. From Saint Louis Cem and Saint Paul Cem near the town center to the more isolated Captain York Cem and Rabke Cem in the outlying sections, these landmarks provide a clear trace of the area's early families. The proximity to the Dewitt Co and Goliad Co boundary line further highlights the region's geopolitical history and rural development.
