2013 Map of Garwood

About this map

The Colorado River winds through the agricultural landscape of Colorado County, anchoring the settlements of Garwood and Nada. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by its water management and petroleum extraction, with numerous canals and drainage creeks like W Mustang Cr and Bucksnag Cr supporting the surrounding fields. The energy economy is evident through the Englehart Oil Field to the north and the Frnka Oil Field to the east, indicating the continued industrial importance of the Texas Gulf Coast prairies. Local heritage is preserved at several burial sites, including the Garwood Methodist Cem and the Nada Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in these small rural communities. The map also detail the complex local road network, from established farm-to-market routes like FM 1693 RD to family-named paths such as Old Boenisch RD and Cranek RD.
