About this map

The settlement of Concordia serves as the focal point for this rural South Texas landscape, defined by an orderly grid of county roads and a heritage of ranching infrastructure. Saint Paul Cemetery sits at a prominent crossroads, marking a site of genealogical significance for local families. The hydrology of the area is shaped by the meandering courses of Chiltipin Creek and Petronila Creek, which flow through the coastal plain toward the Gulf.

A notable characteristic of this terrain is the distribution of family-named landmarks, particularly functional windmills that dot the landscape. These include Mota Redonda Windmill, Noria Honda Windmill, and Palacios Windmill, which reflect the historical necessity of groundwater management in this semi-arid region. To the northeast, the Gertrude Lubby Lake Dam holds back the waters of Gertrude Lubby Lake, providing a localized water source and geographic marker amidst the agricultural fields.
