About this map

The Lavaca River meanders across this rural Jackson County landscape, its course defined by oxbows like Horseshoe Lake and several prominent tributaries including Knopp Br and Beard Br. The settlement of Navidad serves as a central point in an area where the terrain transitions from river bottomlands to low hills incised by drainages such as Roden Hollow and James Hollow.

Genealogists will find this 2016 survey particularly valuable for its density of family-named burial sites scattered across the countryside. Small, isolated grounds like Cox Cem, Knopp Cem, McHenry Cem, and Terrell Cem remain preserved alongside local routes like Miller Ritenour Rd and Chicollette Creek Rd, documenting the long-standing familial ties to these coastal prairie lands near the Jackson and Lavaca County line.
