About this map

Yoakum sits at the intersection of the Lavaca and DeWitt county lines, serving as a hub for the surrounding agricultural prairie. The city’s residential grid is bounded by Big Brushy Creek and West Grand Creek, with several established burial grounds such as Saint Joseph Cemetery and Oak Grove Cemetery located on the eastern edge. Smaller outlying settlements like Petersville, Pearl City, and Midway reflect the persistent rural community structure of the region in the early 21st century.

Transportation and commerce are defined by the convergence of state roads and local routes like FM 111 and FM 682. To the south, Kaiser Lake and Lakeside Lake provide notable water features amidst the terrain of Turkey Bottom. The presence of both the Yoakum Municipal Airport and the Pearson Ranch Private Airport underscores the importance of aviation to this part of the Texas coastal plains landscape.
