An indispensable book for anyone interested in Lavaca County's first landowners.
Each book in this series is laid out into multiple "land survey maps" using a 6 by 4 mile grid.
Each Land Survey Map shows the boundaries of original landowner parcels laid out over existing roads, railroads, and waterways.
Beyond the Lavaca County Land Survey maps, there are equally useful indexes with real detail behind each parcel of land and its original survey and/or ownership.
