About this map

Concordia anchors this coastal plain landscape in Nueces County, where a highly organized grid of county roads and farm-to-market routes facilitates a vast agricultural network. The presence of numerous named water-extraction points, including Palma Windmill, Mota Redonda Windmill, and Noria Honda Windmill, highlights the critical importance of water management in this semi-arid Texas environment. The terrain is drained by the winding courses of Chiltipin Creek and Petronila Cr, which contrast with the straight lines of the surrounding property boundaries.

Local history and genealogy are centered at Saint Paul Cem, located just northwest of the main settlement along FM 3354. To the northeast, Gertrude Luby Lake provides a localized water feature amid the sprawling ranch and farm lands. This survey documents the infrastructure of South Texas at a time when traditional ranching landmarks like the Nine Windmill still define the geography alongside modern state and county thoroughfares.
