2019 Map of Shiner

About this map

Shiner serves as the primary hub of activity in this part of Lavaca County, centered at the intersection of several regional routes. The town is structured around a grid of numbered avenues, including Ave A through Ave J, and is bounded to the north by Green-Dickson Lake. A network of watercourses, such as Rocky Cr and Boggy Cr, define the surrounding landscape, which is predominantly rural and agricultural. Local history and genealogy are preserved in the three distinct burial grounds identified: Shiner Cem to the north, San Pedro Cem to the southwest, and the smaller Bunjus Cem to the northeast. Aviation footprints are visible through private facilities like Gerum Farm Airport and Dean Ranch Airport. To the far southwest, the map shows the border area between Gonzales, Lavaca, and DeWitt counties near Turkey Bottom, where N Fork Mustang Cr originates.
