2010 Map of Anahuac

About this map

Lake Anahuac dominates this coastal landscape, serving as a focal point between the established settlement of Anahuac and the sprawling wetlands of the Trinity River delta. The area is steeped in early Texas history, evidenced by Old Fort Anahuac and Fort Anahuac situated at the mouth of the river where it meets Trinity Bay. The map reveals a complex hydraulic network of bayous and passes, including John Wiggins Bayou and Southwest Pass, alongside the industrial presence of the Trinity Bay Oil Field. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the high density of family-named burial sites scattered across the landscape, such as the Benjamin Barrow Cemetery, Godfrey Cemetery, and Tom Richardson Cemetery. This 2010 survey illustrates the coexistence of historic coastal fortifications, traditional river-dependent settlements, and modern infrastructure like the Chambers County Airport.
