Cabeza Creek Crossing
Abstract

Cabeza Creek Crossing was an important link in Spanish and American Indian transportation networks.

Cabeza Creek Crossing is a gravel bar ford that may have been associated with the Bexar-La Bahia road--an important segment of El Camino Real de los Tejas. It sits on a private ranch that formerly belonged to the alcalde of Goliad. Spanish and Native American artifacts have been found, probably prehistoric, but they could also be prehistoric or historic. Wetlands extend on both sides of the crossing.

This creek crossing, which shows some ruts from wagon usage over the years, is located on a private ranch, several miles from the nearest public road.
