About this map

Lolita and Vanderbilt serve as the primary population centers in this Jackson County landscape, situated near the confluence of the Navidad River and the Lavaca River. The terrain is defined by the shifting hydrology of the coastal plain, featuring prominent river loops like Buzzard Roost Bend and Palmetto Bend, alongside broad lowlands such as Menefee Flat. The survey captures the intricate network of local drainage and standing water, from the winding Cox Creek to more substantial bodies like Redfish Lake and the Venado Lakes system.

Local history is grounded in the presence of the Lolita Cemetery and named landmarks such as Old Red Bluff. The development of the area is further evidenced by a grid of rural and industrial roads, including Exxon RD, Mobil RD, and Frels RD, which reflect the region's connection to petroleum extraction and agriculture. This 2010 topographic record provides a detailed view of the interaction between the natural river systems and the late-twentieth-century infrastructure that sustains these South Texas communities.
