About this map

Chocolate Bayou winds through the coastal lowlands of Calhoun County, carving a path toward the expansive Chocolate Bay in this recent survey. The landscape is a mosaic of agricultural tracts and bayou-side developments, reflecting the area's continued reliance on its water-bound geography. Port Lavaca occupies the northeastern corner of the map, showing a dense street grid that includes the Port Lavaca Cem and proximity to Tanner's Airport.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the scattered burial sites across the rural sections, including the Clark Family Cem near Sanders Rd, the Hatch Cem, and the uniquely named Little Marys Grave near the bayou's edge. The presence of Clark Station along the northern highway corridor illustrates the historic importance of transport hubs even as modern routes like FM 2541 and FM 2235 now dominate the transit patterns of the Texas coast.
