2016 Map of Odem

About this map

The town of Odem serves as the focal point for this survey of the San Patricio and Nueces county borderlands, where agricultural patterns meet the hydrologic systems of the coastal bend. The layout of the town is defined by a grid including Main St and W Willis St, situated just west of the channel of Peters Swale. This landscape is characterized by its transition from organized farmland near Morgan Farm to the intricate marshlands of the Rincon Bayou and the broader waters of Nueces Bay. Genealogists will find several notable local burial sites, including Evergreen Cem, San Pedro Cem, and Bethel Cem. The Nueces River marks the southern reach of the map, carving through the wetland terrain as it approaches the outskirts of Corpus Christi. A network of rural routes such as Sodville Rd and FM 1944 connects the outlying settlements of Loma Linda to the regional core.
