About this map

Wood Hi serves as a central point in this part of Victoria County, where the landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems feeding into the coastal plains. The topography is shaped by the winding courses of Marcado Creek, Aguila Creek, and Casa Blanca Creek, which navigate through a patchwork of agricultural plots and rural homesteads. The layout of the road system, including routes like FM 1686 and Old Highway Rd, suggests a long-standing reliance on overland transport for local commerce.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered at the Shillarville Cemetery, situated in the southwestern portion of the quadrangle. Other notable landmarks, such as Gin Rd, hint at the area's agricultural past and the processing of local crops. The map provides a detailed view of family-named thoroughfares like Hosek Rd and Mascorro Rd, which anchor the contemporary rural community to its ancestral roots.
