About this map

The Victoria Barge Canal defines the industrial and agricultural landscape of this coastal Texas region, cutting a precise path through the lowlands south of Victoria. The canal's infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Dupont Cooling Basin Dam and the nearby Dalton Bridge which spans the Guadalupe River. This waterway network, supported by the Lipscomb and Son Levee, manages the flow between natural bayous and industrial basins like the Pickering Basin.

Local settlements are concentrated along the primary rail and road corridors, with Bloomington serving as the principal hub in the southeast. Smaller communities such as Dernal, Crescent Valley, and Dacosta are linked by a grid of farm-to-market roads like FM 1686. The mapping of the San Jose Cemetery and numerous family-named roads, including Hodde's Cir and Menke Rd, provides significant detail for genealogists and local historians tracking family landholdings in the Guadalupe delta.
