About this map

Round Mott anchors this coastal prairie landscape in Wharton County, where a dense network of seasonal drainages and local roads defines the rural character. The terrain is crisscrossed by numerous branches of the Mustang Creek system, including W Mustang Cr and Middle Mustang Cr, alongside Porters Cr and the map's namesake, Gobbler Cr. These waterways dictate the local geography, winding through agricultural plots connected by a grid of county roads like Harfst Rd and Avenue K.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Procopius Cem in the southern portion of the quadrangle, a vital point of interest for family research. Aviation history is represented by the Norris Raun Ranch Airport, while several water features such as Chaco Slough and Mott Branch reflect the region's low-lying hydrology. The intersection of state routes F-M 1300 and F-M 1160 marks the primary transportation corridor through this quiet corner of Southeast Texas.
