2019 Map of Raisin

About this map

Raisin sits at the northwest edge of this 2019 survey, an area of Victoria County defined by the complex hydrology of the Guadalupe River and its numerous bayous and oxbow lakes. The landscape is characterized by a high density of water features, including Coleto Creek, Black Bayou, and Sand Bayou, which create a winding network of wetlands across the coastal plain. Notable landmarks for local history include an Indian Mound near the river bend and several small family burial grounds such as McDonald Cem, Joshua Cem, and Reeves Cem. The settlement pattern is largely rural, with established routes like Old Refugio Rd and Kemper City Rd E connecting disparate ranches and properties. Significant water bodies such as Terrell Lake and Adler Lake reflect the low-lying, water-rich environment that has historically influenced the development and land use of this region.
