2022 Map of Pledger

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Caney Creek winds through the lowlands of the Texas Gulf Coast, defining the boundary between Wharton and Matagorda counties. This modern survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where the settlement of Pledger serves as a local hub near Caney Creek. To the west, the crossroads of Magnet and the rail-oriented Cane Junction represent the historical agricultural and transport network of the coastal prairie. The landscape is marked by a complex system of sloughs and creeks, including Gardner Slough, Quinine Slough, and Water Hole Creek. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the landscape, notably Old Bethlehem Cemetery, Union Cemetery, and New Gulf Cemetery. In the northern reach, the Giles VA Ranch Airport and the community of Don-Tol highlight the continued integration of private landholdings and small-scale infrastructure in this alluvial plain.
