About this map

The settlement of Nordheim stands as the primary community in this portion of DeWitt County, characterized by its distinctive diagonal grid and streets named for regional flora such as Elm St and Plum St. The surrounding landscape is a hub of Texas energy production, clearly defined by the sprawling Roeder Oil Field, Warmsley Oil Field, and Christmas Oil Field. These industrial sites are linked by a web of rural farm-to-market roads, including FM-239 and FM-952, which traverse the open ranchland.

Watercourses like Manahuilla Cr and Smith Cr drain the territory, while smaller settlements like Cotton Patch sit near the northern boundary. Genealogists may find interest in the Westside Cem located on the outskirts of Yorktown, while researchers of local infrastructure can trace the numerous ranch roads, such as Hohn Rd and Roeder Rd, that have defined land divisions and family holdings for generations.
