About this map

The San Antonio River carves a winding path through this corner of South Texas, defining the boundary between Goliad and Victoria counties. The river valley is a complex network of oxbow lakes and wetlands, including Lott Lake, Rice Lake, and Hardaman Lake. Notable bends such as Hovey Bend, McKinney Bend, and Burn Bend illustrate the shifting nature of the river channel over time.

Genealogists will find significant value in several family-named landmarks and small burial grounds scattered across the landscape, including Lott Cem, Fagan Cem, Terrell Cem, and Sample Cem. These sites, along with roads like Duke Ranch Rd and San Antonio River Rd, provide a window into the rural landholding patterns and heritage of this region near the Gulf Coast. The landscape is dominated by riverine ecology and cattle ranching infrastructure, typical of the coastal prairie hinterlands.
