About this map

The Guadalupe River and San Antonio River converge in this deltaic landscape of the Texas Coastal Bend, creating a complex network of wetlands and tidal channels. The Victoria Barge Canal cuts a straight, industrial path through the terrain, contrasting with the sinuous natural courses of Black Bayou and Kuy Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the presence of the Stiger Cemetery and Rudolph Cemetery near the north-south dividing line of McFaddin Rd provides specific points of interest within an otherwise low-lying, marshy expanse. Large water bodies like Linn Lake and Sand Lake dominate the northern and central sections, while the southern reaches are defined by a maze of waterways including Cushman Bayou, Swift Bayou, and Schwings Bayou. The map illustrates the sophisticated water management and transportation infrastructure required in this coastal region, featuring a prominent levee system along Levee Rd protecting the interior from riverine and tidal flux.
