2010 Map of Sublime

About this map

The Navidad River and its intricate network of tributaries dominate the landscape of central Lavaca County. This rural terrain is anchored by several long-established crossroads communities, including Sublime, Vsetin, and Vienna, which represent the agricultural heart of the region. The map provides significant value for genealogical research, documenting numerous burial grounds such as Smoothingiron Cemetery, Fuller Cemetery, and the Pagel Settlement Cemetery. The drainage patterns are notably complex, featuring uniquely named watercourses like Cat Thicket Branch, Smoothingiron Branch, and Laughlins Sandy Creek. Infrastructure in the area is defined by a mix of state highways and an extensive system of county roads, such as Hickory Ridge Rd, that follow the meandering paths of Sandies Creek and Willow Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the Texas coastal plains, where small settlements and family landmarks like the Barnes Lake Dam endure amid the watershed's natural contours.
