About this map

Midfield and its surrounding coastal prairies of Matagorda County are defined by an intricate network of waterways draining toward the Gulf. The Tres Palacios River meanders through the central landscape, fed by numerous tributaries including Juanita Cr, Willow Cr, and Wallace Cr. This 2022 survey captures the persistent rural structure of the region, where small settlements like Clemville and Elmaton anchor a grid of country roads and farm-to-market routes.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family-named burial sites across the quadrangle. From the Cornelius Cem near the river to the Midfield Cem, Partain Cem, Hawley Cem, and Lacey Cem, these landmarks preserve the heritage of early Texas settlers. The landscape reflects a balance of agricultural use and natural drainage, with Cashs Cr and Dry Creek carving through the western reaches of the territory.
