About this map

Moulton serves as the central hub of this Lavaca County landscape, situated where the grid of farm-to-market roads meets the Lavaca River. The map reveals a fascinating layering of settlement history, specifically the geographic shift from Old Moulton to the contemporary townsite. This transition is marked by the presence of both the Old Moulton Cemetery and the Slavonic Cemetery, which point to the diverse heritage of the early residents in this part of Texas.

The surrounding countryside is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the West Prong Lavaca River and numerous local branches such as Sulphur Branch and Ben Branch. Small rural communities like Nickel and Henkhaus are preserved here, connected by a web of county roads that navigate the subtle topography around Frederick Mound. Genealogists will find particular value in the scattered burial grounds, including the Stonewall Cemetery and Burkett Cemetery, which anchor the map's historical record.
