2010 Map of Mount Olive

About this map

Mount Olive and its surrounding rural Jackson County landscape are defined by the winding paths of the Navidad River and Lavaca River. This 2010 topographic survey documents a region deeply tied to its family and community roots, evidenced by an exceptional density of small burial grounds. From the Mount Olive Cemetery near the settlement center to the Burnettville Cemetery and Laughter Cemetery, these sites offer significant data for genealogical research. The local economy is represented by the Cordele Oil Field and Collier Oil Field, which sit alongside a network of country roads such as Budd Rd and Weigand Rd. The geography here shows a classic Texas coastal plain drainage pattern, with numerous tributaries like Milby Branch and Sutherland Creek feeding into the larger river systems that dominate the low-lying terrain.
