About this map

The confluence of the Guadalupe River and the San Antonio River defines this river-delta landscape along the borders of Victoria, Calhoun, and Refugio counties. This 2016 survey illustrates a complex hydrological network where major watercourses branch into numerous named bayous, including Cushman Bayou, Swift Bayou, and Hog Bayou. The low-lying terrain is characterized by large, shallow water bodies such as Linn Lake and Sand Lake, which sit amidst a maze of wetlands and seasonal drainages like Kuy Creek.

Family history and local heritage are preserved at the Rydolph Cem and Stiger Cem, located near the intersection of McFaddin Rd and Cushman Rd. These sites offer a point of reference for researchers tracing early settlement patterns in this coastal prairie region. Infrastructure is primarily limited to rural routes and levees, such as Levee Rd and Black Bayou Rd 2, which navigate the frequent inundation zones of the river bottoms.
