About this map

Taylor Landing and the surrounding coastal marshlands of Jefferson County define this landscape, where the meandering course of Taylor Bayou meets its northern and southern forks. The territory is characterized by a network of drainage features like Burrell Gully and Aubey Gully, which channel water toward the expansive Willow Slough Marsh. This environment supports a mix of traditional ranching and industrial activity, evident in the presence of McFadden Ranch and the localized operations at the La Belle Oil Field.

A network of local roads, including Old Big Hill RD and Levingston Ranch RD, provides access to the interior of the quadrangle. The topography remains largely flat, with the slight rise of Big Hill and the winding path of Willow Slough providing the primary geographical variation. This map documents a transitional coastal zone where rural homesteads and energy infrastructure coexist with the complex hydrology of the Texas Gulf Coast.
