2019 Map of Blessing

About this map

The settlement of Blessing anchors this coastal Texas landscape, where a grid of local streets including Cottonwood St and Pecan Rd meets the open agricultural plains of Matagorda County. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system flowing toward the Gulf, with Cashs Creek and Turtle Cr winding through the flatlands. Further east, the Tres Palacios River meanders toward its confluence at Tres Palacios Bay, creating a network of riparian features such as Compass Slough and Johnsons Timber Slough. Genealogists will find several significant burial sites across the quadrangle, from the centralized Blessing Cem to the more outlying Grimes Cem and Ashby Cem. The map reflects a landscape deeply tied to water management and rural transport, with an extensive network of county roads like Ohio Colony Rd and Fig Farm Rd connecting various homesteads and farms.
