2019 Map of Placedo

About this map

Placedo sits at the heart of this coastal prairie landscape, its residential grid defined by streets like Houston St, Main St, and Commerce St. The town serves as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural region of Victoria County, situated along the historic corridor of Old Port Lavaca Rd. The terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems that snake toward the Gulf, including the winding Placedo Creek, Ninemile Creek, and the prominent Chocolate Bayou to the south. Further northwest, the smaller settlement of Dacosta marks the edge of this survey area. The landscape shows a clear transition where the open ranchlands and farms are intersected by a definitive boundary line separating Victoria and Calhoun counties, illustrating the political and geographic divisions of the Texas coastal bend.
