2019 Map of Yorktown West

About this map

Yorktown and Nordheim anchor this DeWitt County landscape, connected by a network of ranch-to-market roads and rural routes that cross the numerous watercourses of the Guadalupe River basin. The terrain is defined by a dense web of seasonal and perennial drainage, including the headwaters of Manahuilla Cr and Eighteenmile Cr. Settlement patterns follow the higher ground between these creeks, with long-established family landholdings indicated by local names like Roeder Rd, Schneider Ranch Rd, and Willie Buesing Rd. In Yorktown, the street grid extends toward the Westside Cem, while Nordheim shows a compact residential layout north of FM 239. The map documents a predominantly agricultural and ranching economy, where the placement of cattle guards and private lanes provides insight into the modern management of historic Texas land grants.
