2016 Map of Giddings

About this map

Giddings serves as the focal point of this Lee County landscape, where the intersection of regional thoroughfares and a dense grid of residential streets like W Austin St and E Brenham St defines the local seat. The surrounding countryside is marked by numerous small reservoirs and family-named landmarks, such as Walter Droemer Lake and Seales Lakes south of the main settlement. Genealogy and local history researchers will find several small burial grounds scattered throughout the rural sections, including Betts Chapel Cem to the north and Noack Cem near the southern settlement of Serbin. The terrain is drained by a complex network of creeks, with Nails Cr and Rabbs Cr winding through the pastures. The presence of the Giddings-Lee County Airport and various lease roads indicates the integration of aviation and local industry into the traditional ranching and farming landscape.
