2022 Map of Refugio

About this map

The town of Refugio serves as the focal point of this coastal plains landscape, situated at a strategic bend where the Mission River meets the local creek systems. The community's historical development is evident in the concentration of civic and spiritual sites near the town center, including the Refugio County Courthouse and a cluster of burial grounds such as the Refugio Community Cem and Holy Cross Cem. The surrounding environment is defined by the winding paths of Blanco Cr, Medio Cr, and Dry Cr, which create a series of oxbow lakes and wetlands like Butte Lake and Dyck Lake. These water features, combined with named landmarks like Rooke Field and Rooke Lake, illustrate a landscape shaped by both the river's hydrology and large-scale ranching or agricultural holdings typical of this region of Texas. The network of rural roads and residential streets, such as Alamo St and Crockett Rd, further reveals the town's established grid and its connections to the broader plains.
