About this map

The San Bernard River winds through this landscape at the intersection of Austin, Colorado, and Wharton Counties, defining a region where water and agriculture have long shaped the community. The outskirts of Sealy and the small settlement of Beard sit amidst a dense network of country roads like Rexville Rd and Beckendorff Rd. This survey captures the intricate drainage system of the Texas prairie, featuring Lake Virnau and several key tributaries including E Bernard Cr and Little Bernard Cr.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural layout of the early 21st century, identifying family land and community anchors such as Holy Cross Cem. The map illustrates the persistent rural character of the area, even as modern infrastructure like FM 3538 Rd and various oil-related routes such as Oilfield Rd support the local economy. The numerous smaller waterways, such as Hog Br and Willow Br, indicate the low-lying terrain and floodplains that characterize this part of Southeast Texas.
