About this map

The Guadalupe River meanders through the heart of this coastal plains landscape, carving distinctive oxbows and points such as Powers Bend, Grovers Bend, and Foxes Bend. On its western banks, the city of Victoria extends toward neighboring settlements like Dupre and Aloe. The transportation network is anchored by the Southern Pacific Railroad, which crosses the water at the Guadalupe Bridge, a vital link in the regional economy.

Genealogists can find significant local landmarks including Murphy Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Memory Gardens Cem. The terrain rises toward Goldmans Hill, while the residential growth of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is evident in the organized street grids of Quail Creek. The map also captures several water bodies and low-lying features, from the Optimist Ponds to the isolated Pleasure Island, illustrating the complex relationship between the river's path and the developed townsite.
