About this map

The Lavaca River meanders through this landscape of rural Lavaca County, defining the character of the terrain at Tiger Bend. In the mid-1960s, the area was characterized by small agricultural clusters and a network of creeks like Mustang Creek and Rocky Creek that fed into the main river channel. The settlement of Ezzell and the community at Koerth served as local hubs, connected by winding unimproved roads and State Route 77.

Local social life is marked by the presence of Mossy Grove Ch, Salem Ch, and the combined community grounds of the Providence Sch. The river crossing at Brown Bridge provides a vital link across the Lavaca, while smaller tributaries such as Waterhole Creek and Clarks Creek illustrate the natural drainage patterns of this Texas coastal plain region. Industrial activity is limited but visible through a Gravel Pit located near the southern reaches of the quadrangle.
