About this map

The Navidad River and its intricate network of tributaries dominate this rural Lavaca County landscape, where small settlements are defined by their proximity to water and winding country roads. The community of Sublime sits in the northern portion of the map, centered at the intersection of Alt 90 and several local routes including Weller St and Oakland St. To the south, the settlement of Vienna marks a junction near the banks of Sandies Cr.

Genealogists will find significant local history in the distribution of family-named cemeteries and landmarks across the terrain. Rural burial sites such as Pagel Settlement Cem, Fuller Cem, and Smoothingiron Cem are tucked into the drainages of Brushy Cr and Smoothingiron Br. The presence of Willow Creek Cem near the southern reaches of Willow Cr further highlights how 19th and 20th-century life was closely tied to these specific waterway basins.
