2013 Map of Placedo

About this map

Placedo serves as the central hub of this coastal prairie landscape, where the local street grid intersects with the Old Port Lavaca Rd and FM-616. The town is flanked by the Placedo Oil Field, indicating the importance of energy extraction to the region's economy. Small agricultural outposts like Dacosta appear to the west, linked by a network of rural roads such as Ripple Rd and McCoy Rd. The terrain is defined by slow-moving coastal drainages, including the winding Chocolate Bayou and Ninemile Creek, which flow toward the Gulf. Tracing the numerous family-named lanes like Lala Ln, McFaddin St, and Traylor Rd provides a detailed view of land ownership and settlement patterns in Victoria County during the early 21st century.
