About this map

Taft serves as the primary urban hub on this coastal Texas plain, centered at the intersection of several farm-to-market roads and highway corridors. The residential expansion of Taft Southwest and the presence of Bellevue Cem provide key data points for local researchers studying the town's modern footprint. Further west, the map identifies smaller rural clusters at Sodville and Loma Linda, illustrating the transition from concentrated town centers to broader agricultural tracts.

The southern edge of the sheet is defined by the hydrologic boundary of Nueces Bay, where the coastline meets the outskirts of Corpus Christi. The land between the bay and the settlements is marked by natural drainage features like Gum Hollow, which disrupt the otherwise orderly grid of county roads such as Co RD 74 and Co RD 80. This survey provides a clear view of the road-reliant infrastructure that links these San Patricio County communities together.
