2016 Map of Komensky

About this map

Novohrad, Komensky, and Witting anchor this portion of Lavaca County, where a network of farm-to-market roads and county routes follows the undulating drainage patterns of the Texas coastal plains. The topography is defined by the southeasterly flow of the Lavaca River and its numerous tributaries, including N Fork Lavaca River and Big Rocky Cr. These waterways dictate the placement of local infrastructure, with many homesteads and secondary roads situated on the higher ground between creek beds like Smothers Cr and Boggy Cr. Local history is preserved at the Baursville Cem and Breslau Cem, which serve as quiet landmarks for genealogists tracing families in these rural communities. The map reflects a landscape deeply tied to its agrarian roots, with a dispersed settlement pattern that has remained largely unchanged by large-scale urbanization into the 21st century.
