2022 Map of Flatonia

About this map

The town of Flatonia serves as the focal point of this South Texas survey, situated where rail and road infrastructure intersect the rolling landscape of the Fayette-Lavaca county line. The map highlights a significant concentration of burial grounds that reflect the area's diverse cultural heritage, including the Flatonia Cem African American, the Sacred Heart Cem, and the Praha Catholic Cem to the south. Small rural communities like Engle and various family-named landmarks such as Obar Hill dot the terrain, which is drained by a network of waterways including Mulberry Cr, Rocky Cr, and Coldwater Cr. The prominence of the Old Flatonia Cem suggests the shifting center of the community's early settlement history. The landscape is heavily defined by named farm-to-market roads and local lanes, indicating a persistent agricultural and rural residential pattern.
