2013 Map of Marcado Creek

About this map

Wood Hi serves as the central settlement point in this Victoria County coastal prairie landscape, where seasonal drainage ways define the local geography. The area is characterized by a network of creeks, including the winding Marcado Cr and the larger Garcitas Cr, which carve through the ranching and agricultural tracts. A significant landmark for local history researchers is the Shillerville Cem, located in the southern portion of the quadrangle near the junction of several rural routes. The map illustrates a transitional landscape of large land holdings and rural estates, evidenced by family-named thoroughfares such as Hanselka Rd and Venglar Rd. The convergence of several creek systems like Agula Cr and Casa Blanca Cr suggests a terrain shaped by water flow across the flat Texas coastal plain, providing a clear view of the rural infrastructure in the early 21st century.
