About this map

Sublime and the surrounding Lavaca County countryside appear here as a landscape shaped by the Navidad River and its intricate drainage network. Settled around the Old Railroad Grade, this area retains the markers of early Texas settlement, including the distinct clusters at Vienna and Vsetin. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, recording family and community landmarks such as Pagel Settlement Cem, Fuller Cem, and the Smoot-Hamilton Cem.

Agricultural and industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Gravel Pits and a Claypit, while spiritual life is anchored by Immanuel Ch and Vienna Ch. The hydrology of the region is well-documented, from the winding Sandies Creek to smaller tributaries like Robinson Branch and Cat Thicket Branch. A Gaging Sta on the Navidad River suggests the importance of water management in this bottomland environment during the early 1960s.
