About this map

Coleto Creek and the Guadalupe River dominate this coastal plains landscape in Victoria County, where a complex network of bayous and lakes defines the local hydrology. The small settlement of Raisin sits in the northwestern corner, while the surrounding territory is marked by legacy ranch lands and family-named landmarks. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, including Reeves Cem, Joshua Cem, and McDonald Cem.

A distinctive feature of the terrain is the Indian Mound located near the confluence of Samson Bayou and the Guadalupe. The map captures an intricate system of water bodies such as Warden Lake, Hog Lake, and Pridham Lake, which alongside Blue Bayou and Black Bayou, suggest a seasonal wetland environment shaped by the river's movements. This survey provides a clear view of the area's rural road network, including Old Refugio Rd and various routes leading toward Kemper City.
