2010 Map of Yoakum

About this map

Yoakum anchors the southeastern portion of this map, revealing a dense urban grid that transitions into the agricultural and industrial outskirts of Lavaca and DeWitt counties. The city's growth is marked by its infrastructure, including the Yoakum Municipal Airport and the sprawling layout around Saint Joseph Cemetery. Beyond the city limits, the landscape is defined by the winding course of Big Brushy Creek and its many tributaries like Roundhouse Creek and Supplejack Creek. The area's economic history is evident in the South Yoakum Oil Field and numerous named rural roads, such as Lone Tree School Rd and Morris School Rd, which hint at former community centers. Smaller named settlements including Petersville, Pearl City, and Adel are scattered through the north and west, while the Kaiser Lake reservoir created by the Florine P Kaiser Dam highlights the importance of water management in this cattle-and-oil region.
