Mapping the San Antonio to Gonzales Road
Using original Texas Land Surveys, contemporary maps, archeological surveys, and field notes, we have reconstructed the path of the lost Texas road that connected San Antonio and Gonzales. The information has been used to create layered maps that show the path of the road in relationship to the original land grants as well as to modern roads and satellite images. To aid researchers and the public the maps and the original land surveys have been linked.
