2019 Map of Refugio

About this map

The Mission River winds along the eastern edge of Refugio, a settlement defined by its grid of streets such as Houston St and Commons St. This coastal bend landscape is characterized by a network of drainage ways and small water bodies, including Blanco Creek, Medio Creek, and Duck Lake. Significant for genealogical research, the area contains several dedicated burial grounds like Holy Cross Cem, Mount Calvary Cem, and Oakwood Cem, alongside smaller family plots like Williams Cem. South of the main town center, Rooke Field and Rooke Lake mark the transition into more open ranch land, with local infrastructure supported by routes like Airport Rd and Kelley Rd. The proximity of these watercourses to the town center highlights the historical importance of the river system to the community's layout and development.
