About this map

Live Oak Lake and Hackberry Lake punctuate this low-lying Goliad County landscape, where an intricate network of seasonal drainages and creek beds define the local geography. The area is characterized by a complex hydrographic system featuring Sarco Cr and its tributary Little Sarco Cr, which meander through the western portion of the quadrangle. These waterways, along with Melon Cr to the east, suggest a terrain shaped by intermittent water flow and cattle ranching needs in south-central Texas.

The layout of the land is further detailed by named features like Buzzard Br and the depression of Cottonwood Hollow. This modern survey provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure, showing the passage of U.S. Route 77 and State Route 239 as they navigate the subtle elevations near Cadena Cr at the northern edge. It remains an essential reference for understanding the modern drainage patterns and land divisions in this part of the coastal plain.
