2016 Map of Marcado Creek

About this map

Shillerville Cem serves as a primary genealogical landmark in this portion of Victoria County, situated amidst a landscape defined by an intricate network of coastal prairie drainage. The namesake Marcado Creek flows centrally through the area, joined by other significant watercourses such as Agula Cr, Casa Blanca Cr, and the Arroyo Palo Alto. The terrain is marked by a transition from traditional rural routes like Old Highway Rd to modern thoroughfares such as FM 1686. Local family names are etched into the geography via residential roads and farm tracks, including Tara Rd, Midway Rd, and Twelve Oaks Dr. This modern topographic survey illustrates how historical land partitions and water rights have shaped the contemporary settlement patterns of the Texas coastal plain.
