About this map

The San Antonio River carves a complex, meandering path across the coastal plains of South Texas, defining the political boundary between Victoria and Refugio counties. This landscape is characterized by its intricate hydrology, where the main river channel is flanked by abandoned meanders and backwaters such as Old River and Hines Lake. The drainage network is further composed of sluggish waterways like Cushing Bayou, Flat Bayou, and Kuy Cr, illustrating a terrain shaped by periodic inundation and sediment deposition.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family-named landmarks and resting places concentrated near the unincorporated settlement of McFaddin. The map identifies the De la Garza Cem, O'Connor Cem, and the Nicholas Fagan Memorial Cem, suggesting long-standing agricultural and ranching legacies. The road network, including San Antonio River Rd and River Ranch Rd, reflects the rural infrastructure required to manage these extensive holdings along the river bottoms.
