2019 Map of Wied

About this map

Wied and its surrounding ranchlands in Lavaca County are defined by a complex network of seasonal creek branches and farm-to-market roads. This 2019 survey captures the rural layout of south-central Texas, where small crossroads like Worthing and Mount Olive remain tied to the landscape by the drainage of Smothers Cr and Rocky Cr. The placement of Charlottenburg Cem north of the main settlement offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing families in this German-influenced region of the state. Transportation is dominated by the modern US Highway 90 alternate route, yet the underlying grid of county roads, such as Co RD 371 and FM 1891, follows the contours of the land, reflecting a layout established by generations of agricultural use. The presence of Dean Ranch Airport in the northwest corner highlights the intersection of traditional land use with modern private aviation in this sparsely populated terrain.
