About this map

Midfield sits at the heart of this coastal prairie landscape in Matagorda County, where the sprawling drainage of the Tres Palacios River and its many tributaries like Juanita Creek and Wallace Creek dictate the layout of the land. The settlement pattern is defined by rural crossroads and small communities such as Clemville to the north and Elmaton to the southeast. Industrial activity is concentrated at the Clemville Oil Field, a notable landmark near the northern boundary.

For family historians, the area is rich with ancestral sites including the Cornelius Cemetery, Partain Cemetery, Hawley Cemetery, and Lacy Cemetery. These burial grounds, often located near the winding banks of the river or tucked away along rural routes like Hawley Cemetery Rd, reflect the early ranching and farming legacy of this Texas Gulf Coast region. The network of farm-to-market roads and local lanes, such as Chicken Farm Rd and Ramblin Ln, provides a detailed look at the local geography in the early 21st century.
