About this map

The boundary between Lavaca Co and De Witt Co runs through a landscape of creek branches and extraction sites in this 1960s study, later updated in the 1980s. The small settlement of Terryville serves as a central landmark, supported by the nearby Terryville Cem and Hebron Ch. The economy of the era is clearly visible through the extensive Brushy Creek Oil Field, marked by numerous gas and oil wells.

Transport history is preserved by the Old Railroad Grade cutting across the northwest corner, suggesting the area's earlier connectivity. For genealogists, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller burial sites like Cook Holland Cem and County Line Cem. The drainage network, including Big Brushy Creek, Tongua Creek, and Scarboroughs Branch, defines the rural character of this South Texas quadrangle.
