2010 Map of Lane City

About this map

Lane City serves as the central hub of this coastal prairie landscape in Wharton County, where the meandering Colorado River dictates the layout of local roads and property boundaries. The terrain is defined by a complex network of waterways, including Jarvis Creek, Jones Creek, and the East Fork of Blue Creek, suggesting a region heavily influenced by drainage and irrigation. Infrastructure for local agriculture and water management is evident through features like Pumping Station Rd. Large tracts of land, such as those accessed via Pierce Ranch Rd, indicate the historical and economic importance of ranching in this part of Texas. From the north at Cherry Loop to the southern reaches near Hollywood Rd, the map reveals a landscape where rural development is closely tied to the bends of the river and its numerous tributaries.
