About this map

The railroad town of Weimar serves as the central hub in this portion of Colorado County, where the grid of city streets meets the expansive rural landscape of south-central Texas. The surrounding countryside is defined by the winding course of the E Navidad River and its tributaries, including Middle Creek and Black Bayou. This 2013 survey illustrates the area's agricultural and Czech-German heritage through its scattered rural communities and naming conventions.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the outlying settlements of Dubina and New Bielau, as well as several rural burial grounds such as Clear Creek Cemetery, Boer Cemetery, and Hehr Cemetery. The infrastructure of the era is represented by a dense network of farm-to-market roads and named lanes like Piano Bridge Road and Bird House Hill Road, which connect the small family plots and ranches that characterize this coastal plain region.
