About this map

The expansive Alligator Hole Marsh dominates this landscape in Jefferson County, where freshwater bayous and coastal wetlands define the local geography. Established near the Taylor Bayou, the settlement of Taylor Landing anchors the northeast, while the southwestern corner is marked by Big Hill. The drainage pattern is complex, featuring the convergence of North Fork Taylor Bayou, South Fork Taylor Bayou, and the Mayhaw Bayou.

Modern infrastructure, including the Need More Rd and Levingston Ranch Rd, cuts through the low-lying terrain, providing access to remote ranching and marshlands. To the southeast, the Willow Slough Marsh and its accompanying Willow Slough illustrate the transition into more saturated coastal environments. The area’s rural character is further detailed through specific family-named landmarks like Burrell Gully and Aubey Gully, offering a precise record of land use and water management in the region.
