About this map

The unincorporated community of Berclair sits at the heart of this South Texas landscape, serving as a focal point near the boundary of Goliad Co Bee Co. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, most notably Blanco Creek and its various tributaries including Live Oak Creek, Mucorroa Creek, and Millers Creek. These waterways dictate the local topography and historical settlement patterns, creating a distinct riparian character in an otherwise semi-arid ranching region.

Evidence of local industry and public infrastructure is visible throughout the sheet, from the prominent Goliad Naval Auxiliary Landing Field in the northwest to the scattered quarries and oil wells that dot the terrain. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Myers Cem and trace old transportation routes like Riverdale Road, which provide insight into the rural development of Goliad County during the mid-20th century.
