2010 Map of Giddings

About this map

Giddings serves as the focal point of this Central Texas survey, revealing the organized street grid and suburban expansion of the Lee County seat. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of creek branches, including Nails Creek, Hickory Creek, and Rabbs Creek, which drain the surrounding ranch and farm lands. This hydrology has been modified by numerous local water management projects, evidenced by features such as Walter Droemer Lake, Kasper Estate Lake, and Mantzel Lake. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community landmarks and burial grounds, including the Betts Chapel Cemetery, Keng Cemetery, Noack Cemetery, and Wolf Cemetery. To the southwest, the settlement of Serbin and the Giddings-Lee County Airport mark the perimeter of the primary township, while a complex system of county roads, such as Manheim Rd and Nails Creek Rd, connects the outlying agricultural properties to the municipal center.
