2019 Map of Cordele

About this map

Navidad River serpentines along the western edge of this Jackson County landscape, defining the rural character of Cordele and its surrounding ranchlands. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal drainages, including Brushy Cr, Sutherland Cr, and Stem Br, which feed into the primary river system. This modern 2019 survey documents a landscape of large parcels and country roads, where family history is anchored by several small burial grounds. Local genealogists will find the locations of Gandy Cem, Miller Cem, and Flourney Cem clearly plotted. The northern section is notable for the Gandy Bend of the river, where the boundary between Lavaca and Jackson counties follows the water's course, illustrating the enduring relationship between natural topography and administrative borders in coastal Texas.
