This list was compiled directly from the survey map and from the index and lists of grantees in A.B./J. Hammet, The Empresario, Don Martin de Leon, 1973; Leopold Morris, Pictorial History of Victoria County, 1953 and Anna Carolina Caroline Castillo Crimm, Success in Adversity; The Mexican Americans of Victoria County, Texas, 1800-1880; Ph.D.Dissertation, University of Texas, Austin, 1994.  DeWitt, Lavaca and Calhoun County histories may be consulted for names north and east of Victoria County.  Spelling is presented as found on the map.  Accepted authorities on surnames are the owners; phonetic equivalents are easily worked out and corrections made.

A grid of longitude and latitude to facilitate location of surnames is not useful; the scale of the map makes such a grid impractical.  While river and creek frontage classification is not precise, it is useful providing scholars in settlement patterns research material and because land grant documents of the period use this method.  A proportional outline map is provided to facilitate the location of surnames.
