2019 Map of Francitas NW

About this map

The coastal prairie of Jackson County is defined here by the winding course of W Carancahua Cr and its tributaries, Little Carancahua Cr and Lunis Cr. This 2019 survey shows a landscape dominated by agricultural divisions and rural road networks, with long-established family names tied to the local infrastructure. Roads such as Matula Rd, Kudelka Rd, and Jaap Rd suggest a history of multi-generational landholdings in this part of Texas. The presence of Texaco Rd points to the region's intersection with the energy industry, while the concentration of wetlands along the creek basins illustrates the natural drainage patterns that have shaped local ranching and farming since the area was first settled. The network of farm-to-market roads like FM 1823 and FM 1157 provides the primary connectivity across these low-lying plains.
