2016 Map of Hope

About this map

Hope serves as the primary landmark in this rural pocket of Lavaca County, where a dense network of county roads and creek systems defines the cattle and agricultural landscape. The map reveals a drainage pattern dominated by the Lavaca River and its numerous tributaries, including Supplejack Creek and Waterhole Creek. For genealogists, the inclusion of Harless Cem along Harless Cemetary Rd provides a specific point of interest for family history research in this part of Texas. The settlement pattern is sparse, with small clusters of structures linked by routes like Dry Hollow Rd and Co Rd 438, reflecting a modern era where the land remains largely open and used for ranching. Natural features such as Scarboroughs Br and Bear Br suggest the localized geography that has influenced road placements for generations.
