1952 Map of Edna

About this map

The Edna street grid centers this mid-century survey, serving as a hub for the agricultural plains of Jackson Co. The town is anchored by civic staples including the Courthouse, City Hall, and the Armory, with the Southern Pacific railroad providing the primary industrial artery through the region. Significant local history is preserved at the Site of Camp Independence along the Lavaca River, and a Historical Monument stands further downstream, marking the area's early Texas heritage. Outside the main settlement, the landscape is defined by the winding river bottom and small rail stops like Matilda and El Toro. Genealogists will find three distinct burial grounds: Prairie City Cem, Sayle Cem, and Gideon Cem, the latter of which sits near the western border with Victoria County.
