2010 Map of Danevang

About this map

The settlement of Danevang serves as the focal point for this coastal prairie landscape in Wharton County, highlighting its unique history as a Danish agricultural colony. This 2010 survey illustrates a highly organized grid of rural routes, including Farm Rd 403 and FM 1162 Rd, which define the region's productive agricultural character. The natural hydrology is shaped by the winding courses of the Tres Palacios River, Willow Creek, and Juanita Creek, which cut across the geometric field patterns. Significant water management features are evident near the southern boundary, such as the A H Johnson Reservoir and an associated Levee, indicating the infrastructure required for large-scale ranching or rice farming in the Texas Gulf Coast region.
