About this map

The San Antonio River carves a winding path through this portion of Goliad County, defining a landscape of riparian corridors and tributary drainages. The small community of Charco sits in the northwest, serving as a focal point for a network of local routes like FM 81 and Johnson Rd. This area is characterized by its agricultural and ranching layout, with large tracts of land divided by roads such as Irby Rd and Oil Field Rd.

Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by several small burial grounds including the Harper Cem, John Pettus Cem, and Pettus Lott Cem. These sites, along with the San Jacinto Cem, provide tangible links to the early residents who settled along the banks of Cabeza Cr and Charco Cr. The presence of the Lantana Ridge Airport indicates the modern integration of aviation into this traditional Texas river landscape.
