About this map

Midfield and its surrounding coastal prairies define this portion of the Texas Gulf Coast, where the landscape is intricately carved by the Tres Palacios River and its various tributaries like Juanita Creek and Willow Creek. This area in Matagorda County shows a clear pattern of rural settlement and industry, marked by the presence of an expansive Oil And Gas Field and several small community centers including Clemville, Elmaton, and Blessing.

Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, such as Hawley Cem, Lacy Cem, and Cornelius Cem. The map documents the educational infrastructure of the period, featuring the Tidehaven High Sch and Tidehaven Sch. Agriculture and resource extraction are further evidenced by a network of canals, levees, and spoil banks, alongside landmarks like the Fire Sta and a Gaging Sta along the river.
