About this map

The agrarian landscape of DeWitt County unfolds across this modern topographic survey, centered on the historic settlements of Yorktown and Nordheim. The area is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages and creeks, including Manahuilla Cr, Eighteenmile Cr, and Salt Cr, which carve through the south Texas countryside. These watercourses historically dictated the placement of ranch roads and early farmsteads in the region.

For those tracing family heritage, the map identifies several significant burial sites, such as the Taylor Family Cem located south of the main road networks, and the distinct Nordheim Cem - East and Nordheim Cem - West plots. The grid of Nordheim is well-preserved, showing streets from Teiwes St to Front St, reflecting the town's early 20th-century layout. The map also records numerous local transit arteries like Schneider Ranch Rd and Willie Buesing Rd, which connect the scattered agricultural operations typical of this part of the state.
