About this map

The Chambers County Courthouse serves as the focal point for the coastal community of Anahuac, situated where the Trinity River meets Trinity Bay. This landscape is defined by the complex water systems of the Texas Gulf Coast, featuring the large expanse of Lake Anahuac and a labyrinth of bayous such as Barge Bayou and Turtle Bayou. To the north, the settlement of Wallisville and the community of Hankamer are connected by a network of rural roads and family-named cemeteries.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the quadrangle, including the Benjamin Barrow Cem, Tom Richardson Cem, and Wallis Hill Cem. The map documents the local transportation and civic infrastructure, from the Chambers County Airport to the numerous passes and channels, like Southwest Pass and the Anahuac Channel, which facilitate movement through the marshy terrain of the river delta.
