2019 Map of Garwood

About this map

Garwood and Nada serve as the primary hubs of this agricultural pocket in Colorado County, where the landscape is intricately defined by a network of drainage and irrigation. The Colorado River snakes along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, flanked by numerous tributaries such as W Mustang Cr and Marys Br. This area shows a clear transition between organized river-bottom lands and the structured grid of rural farm roads, including FM 1693 RD and FM 333 RD. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of several local burial sites, most notably the Garwood Methodist Cem, the Garwood Cem, and the Nada Cem further south. The presence of Engstrom Lake Number 2 and various creeks like Bucksnag Cr and Pinoak Cr highlights the water-dependent nature of this Texas coastal prairie region, where land use remains closely tied to the natural hydrology and the county boundary with Wharton County.
