2019 Map of Sublime

About this map

The Navidad River and its intricate network of tributaries, including Brushy Cr and Smoothingiron Br, define this rural section of Lavaca County. The small community of Sublime sits in the northern half of the quadrangle, connected by FM 3283 and several county roads to the smaller settlement of Vienna to the south. This landscape is characterized by a high density of named family and community burial sites, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Texas. These include the Pagel Settlement Cem in the west, Smoothingiron Cem to the northeast, and the Fuller Cem and Willow Creek Cem situated between the primary watercourses. The network of local routes like Appelts Hill Rd and Hickory Ridge Rd follows the natural rises between the creeks, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern centered on agricultural and pastoral land use near the Sandies Cr drainage.
