About this map

Chocolate Bayou and Little Chocolate Bayou flow through this coastal Texas landscape, converging toward the waters of Chocolate Bay. The settlement of Clark Station serves as a local landmark north of the bay, situated near several family-linked sites including the Clark Family Cem. This 2013 survey illustrates the agricultural and residential layout of Calhoun County, showing a network of named rural roads like Sikes Rd and Roy Smith Rd that crisscross the low-lying terrain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds beyond the Clark site, including Hatch Cem, Ranger Cem, and the Port Lavaca Cem. The presence of Tanner's Airport near the shoreline reflects the area's modern infrastructure, while the branching reaches of East Coloma Creek and W Coloma Cr dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the complex drainage patterns common to the Texas Gulf Coast.
