About this map

Boling and Iago anchor this landscape, where the meandering course of the San Bernard River and Caney Creek define the local geography. The area reflects a mix of agricultural tradition and industrial activity, notably represented by the Boling Oil Field and the Texas Gulf Incorporated Reservoir Dam near Newgulf. These sites point to a history of resource extraction and water management that has shaped the community's development over decades.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks including Shiloh Cemetery, Snake Creek Cemetery, and Routt Point Cemetery, which are preserved alongside family-named roads such as Moody Rd and Needville Rd. The presence of the Newgulf Airport and various sloughs, including Turkey Slough and Gardner Slough, further illustrates the diverse uses of this Wharton County terrain. The survey captures the transition from open ridge lands like Elm Ridge to the more developed corridors near the towns.
