2019 Map of Sweet Home

About this map

Sweet Home is the central hub of this rural South Texas landscape, situated at the junction of several farm-to-market and county roads near the Lavaca Co and DeWitt Co boundary. The area's community identity is preserved through its numerous historic burial grounds, including the Sweet Home City Cem, Queen of Peace Cem, and Sweet Home Cem. These sites, along with outliers like Yellow Bank Cem and Pilot Grove Cem, provide critical data points for genealogists and local historians tracking the early families who settled this region. The terrain is defined by a dense network of meandering waterways such as Clarks Cr, Yellow Bank Cr, and Supplejack Cr, which have dictated the placement of agricultural boundaries and transport routes through the creek bottoms for generations.
