2013 Map of Navidad

About this map

The Lavaca River meanders through this portion of Jackson County, anchoring a landscape defined by cattle ranching and energy extraction. Long-established family names are preserved through numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Cox Cem, Knopp Cem, McHenry Cem, and Terrell Cem. These sites, along with the Robinson Ranch, speak to the deep-rooted settlement history of the Navidad area. The topographic detail highlights a transition from river bottomlands to higher ground marked by natural depressions like Horseshoe Lake and Alligator Lake. Industrial activity is evident in the Navidad Gas Field and McDaniel Gas Field, which operate alongside traditional agricultural land. Local drainage is further defined by several tributaries, such as Beard Br, Keller Br, and Arenosa Cr, which cut through the hollows of the eastern coastal plain.
