2016 Map of Port Lavaca West

About this map

Port Lavaca anchors the northeastern corner of this coastal survey, where the street grid meets the tidal waters of Chocolate Bay. The landscape is a mosaic of low-lying wetlands and drainage networks, defined by the winding paths of Chocolate Bayou and Little Chocolate Bayou as they move toward the Gulf of Mexico. This map provides significant detail for genealogical research, documenting several family and local burial sites including the Clark Family Cem, Hatch Cem, and the uniquely named Little Marys Grave. Settlement patterns outside the main town are concentrated near Clark Station, while the southern reaches transition into more open coastal prairie bisected by E Coloma Cr and W Coloma Cr. Aviation history is also represented by the presence of Tanner's Airport near the shoreline.
