About this map

The San Antonio River snakes through the center of this landscape, its complex meanders creating a dense network of oxbow lakes and named river bends. This riverine environment defines the local geography, featuring numerous water bodies such as Rice Lake, Summers Lake, and the map's namesake, Lott Lake. The terrain transitions from these lush river bottoms to higher ground marked by Cottonwood Hollow and active industrial infrastructure, including the Gaffney Oil Field and various pipelines.

For those tracing family history or the early settlement of Goliad County, several landmarks offer specific local context. Small burial sites like Calfott Cem and Fagan Cem sit near the riverbanks, while Mt Zion Ch serves as a focal point for the rural community. Access across the water is documented by features like the Simms Footbridge, providing a detailed look at the rural transportation and social infrastructure in place during the early 1960s.
