2013 Map of Cordele

About this map

The Navidad River snakes through this portion of Jackson County, anchoring a landscape defined by ranching and resource extraction. The small settlement of Cordele sits at the intersection of several local routes in the southeast, while the Morales Gas Field and Fenner Ranch Airport highlight the modern industrial and private aviation infrastructure characterizing the area. Several small family or community burial grounds, including Gandy Cem, Miller Cem, and Flourney Cem, are scattered across the terrain, providing essential landmarks for genealogists tracing regional family lines. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous tributaries such as Sutherland Creek, Stem Br, and Brushy Creek feeding into the river system. This survey reflects the persistence of rural Texas land divisions, where large ranch properties are segmented by a network of county roads like Co RD 280 and Co RD 284.
