2010 Map of Cordele

About this map

The Navidad River winds through this coastal prairie landscape in Jackson County, defining the western edge of a region marked by cattle ranching and energy extraction. The small settlement of Cordele sits in the southeast corner, connected to the surrounding countryside by a network of farm-to-market roads like FM 530. The presence of the Morales Gas Field and the Fenner Ranch Airport highlights the dual economic focus of large-scale ranching and mineral resources that shape this part of Texas. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named burial sites are preserved here, including Gandy Cemetery, Miller Cemetery, and Flourney Cemetery. The hydrology is defined by numerous waterways such as Brushy Creek, Sutherland Creek, and Stem Branch, which drain the low-lying terrain. The map also records several local thoroughfares, including Morales Rd and Benne Arnold Rd, providing a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century.
