2019 Map of Morales

About this map

Morales serves as a central point of interest in this rural Jackson County landscape, where the Lavaca County and Jackson County line bisects a network of cattle ranches and creek drainages. The area is defined by its significant watercourses, including the Lavaca River winding through the western portion and the Navidad River touching the eastern edge. Settlement patterns are primarily agricultural and decentralized, with large holdings like the Deer Park Ranch and numerous county roads providing access to the interior. Local history is anchored by the Partridge Cem and the Wallace Bridge crossing Coal Cr, reflecting a long-standing ranching economy. The topography is etched by numerous seasonal branches such as Water Hole Br, Hall Br, and Hardys Sandy Cr, which drain the coastal plains toward the Gulf.
