About this map

The Tres Palacios River winds through the heart of this Matagorda County landscape, defining a coastal prairie region marked by agricultural roads and scattered family heritage sites. Near the junction of Farm Market 2431 and Co Rd 451, the settlement of Midfield sits at the center of a network of drainage features like Juanita Creek and Wallace Creek. This area preserves several distinct burial grounds, including Cornelius Cemetery and Partain Cemetery, which serve as primary markers of early ranching and farming lineages.

To the south and east, the communities of Elmaton and Clemville anchor the corners of the quadrangle. The map details a transition from the structured residential lanes of Midfield to the more expansive cattle and crop lands near Briar Creek. Water management is evident in the numerous creek systems, such as Cashs Creek and Dry Creek, which feed into the primary river basin, illustrating the drainage patterns essential to the local economy.
