2016 Map of Lott Lake

About this map

The San Antonio River carves a meandering path across this landscape, forming complex oxbows and bends such as Hovey Bend, McKinney Bend, and Burn Bend. This riverine environment is defined by an extensive network of wetlands and small lakes, including Lott Lake, Melinda Lake, and Redding Lake. The map reveals the intersection of Goliad, Victoria, and Refugio counties, where transportation is limited to rural routes like Duke Ranch Rd and San Antonio River Rd. For genealogists, the presence of family-named landmarks provides significant value, specifically the Lott Cem, Fagan Cem, Terrell Cem, and Sample Cem. These small burial grounds, alongside crossings like Duke Bridge and Simms Footbridge, suggest a long history of local landownership and rural residency along the fertile river bottomlands.
