About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders through this landscape south of Victoria, defining a coastal prairie environment shaped by both historical hydrology and modern industrial utility. The intersection of the Victoria Barge Canal and various bayous, including Spring Bayou and Blue Bayou, illustrates the complex water management of the region. Near the settlement of Bloomington, the local infrastructure supports the expansive Dupont Cooling Basin, a significant industrial feature that contrasts with the surrounding agricultural land and natural basins like Pickering Basin.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the San Jose Cem and trace the development of smaller communities such as Dernal, Crescent Valley, and Dacosta. The map also documents physical landmarks like the Dalton Bridge and specialized water bodies including the Lipscomb and Son Reservoir. The grid of farm-to-market roads and rural lanes, such as Old Bloomington Rd and Farm-to-Market Road 1688, provides a clear view of the transportation network connecting these South Texas settlements.
