About this map

Lake Texana dominates the eastern half of this Jackson County landscape, its expansive waters formed by the impoundment of the Navidad River and its various tributaries like Chicolete Cr. The western portion of the map transitions toward the Lavaca River basin, showing a network of rural roads such as Young Rd and Pear Orchard RD that service local agricultural lands and the Jackson County Airport.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its concentration of historic burial sites along the water's edge, including the Texana Cem, Sanford Cem, and Red Bluff Cem. The presence of these cemeteries near the lake suggests the location of earlier settlements and family homesteads that preceded the modern reservoir. Aviation interests are also represented by the Kubecka Flying Service Inc. and Hahns Airport, which support the regional farming and ranching economy in the vicinity of Manson and Edna.
