1952 Map of Lolita
USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
The confluence of the Lavaca River and the Navidad River dominates this coastal Texas landscape, where the seasonal movement of water across Lee Flat and through the Redfish Lake basin defines the local geography. Significant industrial development is evident near Vanderbilt and Lolita, including an Oil Refinery and an extensive Oil Field that speak to the region's mid-century petroleum economy. The Missouri Pacific railroad cuts a straight line across the wetlands, providing a critical transport link through the marshy terrain. Local landmarks such as Buzzard Roost Bend and Old Red Bluff reflect the traditional nomenclature of the river bends, while the presence of the Lolita Cem and scattered Windmill sites offer points of interest for genealogists tracing early family homesteads near the Lakes and Venado Creek.
