About this map

Lake Texana dominates the eastern half of this landscape north of the confluence of the Navidad River and Lavaca River. The map details a period of transition where the reservoir’s expansive waters meet the traditional agricultural and ranching lands of Jackson County. Evidence of the area's aviation presence is visible through several sites, including the Jackson County Airport and the Kubecka Flying Service Inc. near the small settlement of Manson.

Local history is preserved in the location of Brackenridge Cem on the lake's western shore and Red Bluff Cem further south. The land is drained by a network of smaller waterways like Chicolete Cr, Post Oak Br, and Dry Cr, which snake through the coastal prairie. An extensive grid of county roads, such as Co RD 412 and Co RD 417, connects these water-bound landscapes to the surrounding regional infrastructure.
