2019 Map of Glen Flora

About this map

The Colorado River defines the landscape of Wharton County, meandering through a region defined by agricultural infrastructure and small rural centers. In this modern survey, the settlement of Glen Flora serves as a central point, surrounded by a grid of farm-to-market roads and county routes that reflect the area's long-standing land divisions. The presence of the Pierce Canal and numerous sloughs, such as Baughman Slough, highlights the intensive water management necessary for the local landscape. Near the southeastern corner, the city of Wharton and the smaller community of Mackay mark the shift toward more concentrated development. Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of the Mackay Cemetery and the descriptive Mexican Cemetery Rd, while the Wharton Regional Airport signifies the modern transition of this coastal prairie environment.
