1965 Map of Oakland

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Navidad River winds through the rural landscape of Lavaca and Colorado counties, anchoring a region defined by scattered settlements and numerous family and community burial grounds. Near the settlement of Oakland, the river is joined by Cottonwood Creek and East Clear Creek, creating a network of waterways that shaped the local geography. The map reveals a dense concentration of historical sites essential for genealogical research, including Oakland Hill Cem, Shiloh Cem, and the unique Bile Hora Cem located near a community center. Small homesteads and rural landmarks like Brown Chapel and Tesch appear alongside legacy features such as Willowsburg Cem and Keilers Cem. This mid-century view, updated with late-1970s aerial data, preserves the locations of numerous Gravel Pits and creek crossings before modern land use altered the traditional rural corridors of south-central Texas.
