2019 Map of Charco

About this map

The settlement of Charco anchors this rural landscape in Goliad County, where the terrain is deeply shaped by the winding course of the San Antonio River. The land here is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Charco Cr, Cabeza Cr, and Hord Cr, which carve through the south Texas countryside. Significant for genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several family-named burial grounds, such as the Smith-Walker Cemetery, John Pettus Cem, and Lott Pettus Cem, alongside the San Jasinto Cem. These landmarks, often situated near farm roads like John Pettis Rd and Irby Rd, point to the region's agricultural and ranching heritage. Transportation and utility are marked by the Lantana Ridge Airport and the crossroads formed by FM 81 and FM 1351, illustrating the area's modern infrastructure within its traditional cattle-country context.
