About this map

The San Antonio River meanders through this portion of Goliad County, creating a complex geography of oxbow lakes and sharp river bends such as Hovey Bend and McKinney Bend. The landscape is defined by its riparian hydrology, where numerous named water bodies like Rice Lake, Summers Lake, and the central Lott Lake punctuate the terrain. This environment dictated the local infrastructure, necessitating the Duke Bridge and the Simms Footbridge for crossing the river's shifting path.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family-named landmarks and resting places. Fagan Cemetery and Terrell Cemetery are situated near Fagan Lake, while the Sample Cemetery lies further south near the Gaffney Oil Field. These features, alongside rural routes like Duke Ranch Rd and San Antonio River Rd, illustrate a sparsely populated region where economic activity is tied to the land and the river's influence.
