2016 Map of Anahuac

About this map

Lake Anahuac dominates this coastal landscape where the Trinity River meets the upper reaches of Trinity Bay. This 2016 survey documents a complex network of waterways, including Turtle Bayou, Barge Bayou, and the Chambers-Liberty Counties Navigation District Canal, illustrating the vital intersection of drainage and navigation for the region. The map is particularly useful for genealogists, as it identifies numerous family and community burial sites such as Eminence Cem, Godfrey Cem, and the Benjamin Barrow Cem near Hankamer. The settlement of Anahuac serves as a hub, positioned near the Chambers County Airport and the Anahuac Channel. Further north, Wallisville sits near the river's edge, surrounded by ecological features like Lake Miller and Buzzard Roost, reflecting the enduring wetland character of the Texas Gulf Coast.
