About this map

Victoria Regional Airport dominates the northeast quadrant of this landscape, marking the city's modern expansion toward the prairie. The urban periphery is characterized by a dense residential street grid, including major arteries like Ben Jordan St and the sweeping arc of Ne Zac Lentz Pkwy. Moving away from the concentrated development of Victoria, the land transitions into rural tracts defined by the winding paths of Placedo Creek, Marcado Creek, and Casa Blanca Cr.

Genealogical interest is found in outlying settlements such as Telferner, Hughes, and Guadalupe, along with established burial sites like Pleasant Green Cem and Jewett Cem. The map illustrates a distinctive Texas coastal plain settlement pattern, where late-20th-century suburban growth, represented by corridors like Sam Houston Dr, meets traditional farming and ranching areas near the old railroad line.
