2017 Map of Raymondville

About this map

Raymondville serves as the central hub of this portion of the Salem Plateau in Texas County, where the landscape is defined by a complex network of deeply incised drainage systems. The topography is characterized by numerous named "hollows," including Flat Rock Hollow, Gregory Hollow, and Bradford Cave Hollow, which carve into the upland plains. These natural features dictated the winding paths of rural routes like Co RD 3200 and Co RD 3410 that connect the small settlement of Yukon to the surrounding farms. Genealogical interest is centered on sites like Allen Cem and the various family-named hollows, while the hydrologic character of the Ozarks is evident through features such as Bear Claw Spring and Pond Spring Br. The transition from the higher western terrain down toward S Ashley Cr illustrates the erosional forces that have shaped this timbered and agricultural region over generations.
